can you recommend me on how to cleanse it in alteryx, what tool or process will i be using with this data:

Data:

GL Account CodeBusiness UnitGL Account NameAccount TypeAccount ClassAccount Sub TypeAccount Sub Class
19510000INMisc DepositsAssetsOther Current AssetsAssetMiscellaneous Deposit
19510000APMisc DepositAssetsOther Current AssetsAssetDeposits to Suppliers
19510000ANMisc DepositAssetsOther Current AssetsAssetDeposits to Suppliers

 

 

basically, it has the same account code but with different business unit, they have different GL Account Names. And I want to apply consistent GL Account Names by using the first GL account name in the row. N

GL Account CodeBusiness UnitGL Account NameAccount TypeAccount ClassAccount Sub TypeAccount Sub Class

Note that it's only a sample entries, i want it to apply to the other codes and other data as well

We can use Sample tool to take out the first row for each "GL Account Code" then join back to the main data stream and use the "GL Account Code" from the first row of each "GL Account Code".
