Hello,

 

I have the dataset bellow.

 

MonthDoc. Number

1

123456
1456789
1123456
2987456
2321456

 

I need to find any duplicate document number within the same period. 

Based on my requirements, The rows highlighted, should be filtered as duplicates.

 

Thank you.

Hi @beatrizmguerreiro ,

 

You can use a summarize tool to achieve that, grouping by both fields (months and document no.)

That will return you the unique value for each combination of your fields.

 

Hope that helps,

and I think I might have got that wrong slightly. If you indeed want to exclude them totally from your dataset, then you can use a filter tool, to filter them out.

Hi @beatrizmguerreiro 

 

You can use Unique tool.

Duplicate records will output to "D" output.

 

Summarize tools are also available as @AngelosPachis  presents it.
