I am trying to find a way that will take into account all columns and delete rows that are duplicate in all these row?

 

I am using Unique , but I dont want to use this for all my columns.

 

is there a work around?

Hi @wonka1234 

 

I'm not sure I follow the question. The unique tool with all fields selected sounds like it should do the trick. Maybe an example would help?

sorry luke, my fault, i thought unique was only allowed on one column.

Hi @wonka1234,

 

I'm assuming you're looking for a way to keep it dynamic if new columns come in? You could add a record ID and transpose the data to concatenate all values. Uniquing on that will tell you which Record ID's should be removed (as they are duplicates).

I've attached my workflow for you to download if needed!

 

Kind regards,

Sorry Jonathan - I mean a user interface input as an analytic app. The user to input multiple lines of numbers. Ie they input 1234, 4567, etc. and the filter is applied based on their input.

If its just on the one column a unique should work from what you described. Perhaps attach your example and we can understand further if this is not working we can support debugging.
