Unique Tool

ryanfreyre

Hello,

when using the unique tool and selecting two columns (Ex. Date and Sale Price), will the tool automatically move any of the same dates to the duplicate anchor? Or does it only move a column with the exact date matching the sale price?

Thanks

If you select Date and Sale Price, it will move to the duplicate anchor the duplicated combination of these columns.

 

Example

 

DateSales 
1/1/20222000Not duplicated
1/1/20223000Not duplicated
1/2/202240000Duplicated
1/2/202240000Duplicated

@ryanfreyre If you select two columns the unique tool only moves if both fields are having a duplicate entry. You can check the Unique tool example in the designer
