identifying unique and different values across multiple columns

Hey,

 

New to the alteryx community!

 

I'm trying to identify how many times a value occurs across multiple columns, to find the columns with the same value and those with different ones - whilst ignoring the null values.

 

E.g. Input

RecordIDColumn AColumn BColumn CColumn D
11010nullnull
25nullnull5
310101010
4101055

 

Desired Output:

 

RecordIDUnique/repeated values onlyMultiple values
1YESNO
2YESNO
3YESNO
4NOYES

 

The outputs don't have to say yes or no, can be binary 1,0 - I just need help identifying which ones have the same value and which don't.

 

Appreciate any assistance!

 

Thanks

I would suggest:

First transpose the data to be row based and filter the Nulls

Use a summarise tool to compute distinct value counts by record ID

You can then use a formula tool to make the 2 columns

 

Have attached a sample

Hi @Pran19G,

 

I believe this is the same aproach as @jdunkerley79
