I have a set of data shown below, regarding payments. The 2 scenarios outlined come from one combined set of data. My issue is I'm trying to create a column that identifies if a unique ID has installments greater than 1. (Essentially, New Column would be a Y or N).
The issue I'm having is that I can also have 2 lines for One unique ID because the payor will make a payment to 2 separate payee's (Scenario 2). So, using the Summarize tool and Group by Unique ID and Count on Installment # does not work because scenario 2 will also show count of more than 1.
Does anyone have any ideas? I have also tried playing with the multi-row formula tool, but am not having much luck.
Scenario 1 | ||||||||
Unique ID | Payor | Payee | Gross Bill Amount | Installment Amount | Installment # | New Column (What I Want) | ||
1 | John | Jane | 100 | 25 | 1 | Yes | ||
1 | John | Jane | 100 | 25 | 2 | Yes | ||
1 | John | Jane | 100 | 25 | 3 | Yes | ||
1 | John | Jane | 100 | 25 | 4 | Yes | ||
Scenario 2 | ||||||||
Unique ID | Payor | Payee | Gross Bill Amount | Installment Amount | Installment # | New Column (What I Want) | ||
2 | Bob | Jane | 25 | 25 | 1 | No | ||
2 | Bob | Mary | 25 | 25 | 1 | No |
Solved! Go to Solution.
I think you've basically got the answer anyway - I would use Summarize, maybe a filter for Installment # as well, then join that back on to the original data set to get the New Column calculation.
I had the unique ID's wrong in scenario 1 and have updated, would that change your response?
My issue with summarize is if I count installments then items like scenario 2 will count higher than 1, but they are false positive for multiple installments.
For filters, I guess I can do an installment greater than 1, and then create a column on everything true to say "Yes". What would I do though for the installments labeled #1 that would be in the false part of that filter, since those lines also need to say "Yes"
Thanks!
I got it figured out.
I did a formula and created a column to say "Yes" on installments > 1 and "Maybe" for installments = 1. Then I filtered on Maybe's. Summarized on the true side of the filter and grouped by / counted the unique id's. Anything that had more than 1 unique id were the false positives for multiple installments. i then rejoined and unioned my data from the filter and added a new formula to update the Yes or No Field for multiple installments.
Awesome :)
