How to identify duplicates? Unique tool shows false duplicates - weird.

Hello,

 

I am trying to identify certain duplicates using certain fields within a data set. I have attached an example below: 

 

Task(1) Identify all of the duplicated invoices numbers only

Task (2) Identify all duplicated invoice numbers and invoice amounts only

 

Data:

Record Invoice Number PO NumberSupplier NameInvoice Amount
121212122234Nike £1000
234245145112Adidas£709
321212122257Nike £5000
421212122210Nike £1000

 

 

Task 1 results should show records 1, 3 & 4 as the invoice numbers are identical

 

Task 2 results should show record 1 & 4 as the invoice amount and invoice numbers are identical. 

 

I have used the unique tool but it should false duplicates when clicking (d).

 

Any help would be appreciated, I am new to using Alteryx Designer. 

 

Thank you.

Alternatively, you can speed this up by using the "Only Unique" marco tool in the near future, downloadable here
