Remove All Instances of Duplicates

I have been trying to find a way to remove all instances of duplicate values. I know the unique tool will identify duplicate values but it leaves the first instance. How would I go about doing this?

Hi @Tim_Sullivan 

 

Here is how you can do it. Use summarize tool to get count and filter count!=1

Hi @Tim_Sullivan 

 

I suggest using a Summarize tool to count the record of each value, Filter to records where [Count]=1, and Join those records back to the original. The joined records would be only values that occur once.

Check out the attached workflow and let me know if that helps.

Hi,

 

There are a few different ways.

One different approach to @atcodedog05 is to add a Join tool after the Unique tool. Joining on the unique fields

 

You can then just take the Left output and it will be the uniques.

 

Hope it helps
