Updating records

Hi,

I've a dataset below and I would like to update the rows that only have one decimal place e.g. "1.1" "1.2" etc.

It is based on a RAG status and if any of the records contains a RAG status that is "below" the one in the "main" row it should be updated accordingly.

E.g. if "1.1.2" contains Amber then "1.1" should be updated to Amber.

Number	Colour
1.1	Green
1.1.1	Green
1.1.2	Amber
1.1.3	Green
1.2	Amber
1.2.1	Red
1.2.2	Green
1.3	Amber
1.3.1	Red

Below is the table with the updated values (rest remains the same)

1.1	Amber
1.2	Red
1.3	Red

Many thanks,

Pav

I'd use a RegEx to parse the Number to a one decimal place one and an item

You can then create a priority table converting Red/Amber/Green to 1/2/3

Use a summarise tool to get minimum value for each record.

Then convert back to a colour by joining to the colour table again.

I guess this is identical in logic to that of @jdunkerley79, except it uses formulae instead of parse tools and lookup tables; thought I would post it as just another way to do the same thing.
