Assign Week number by generating a separate column in the dataset

Hi community, 

 

I am stuck with a query in the attached workflow. 

 

All I am trying to achieve is assign week numbers for the Source_first_name last_name field for them to book meetings.

 

The tricky part is that their shouldn't be any clashes in the week numbers. For example if -  

 

Source_first_name last_name = Abigail Reed meets first_name last_name Adelaide Thomas in Week 1 then they both become unavailable for Week 1. 

 

Can someone please help me solve this? Please let me know if any further info is required. 

 

Thanks in advance.

So I pick the unique combinations and assign week No#1 and for those duplicated ones, assign week No#2.

Hi @Qiu 

 

Sorry but this is not what I am after.

 

The use case is that one person can only have one meeting in a week. For example - 

 

Abigail Reed will meet Adelaide Thomas in week 1, then Aiden Andrews in Week 2, Alexia hunt in Week 3 & so on. Please find the screenshot attached of the desired outcome. 

 

But, when we get to Adelaide's routine - he will not be available to meet Hailey in Week 1, does this make sense? 

 

Thanks,

so we can just use RecordID to assign?

Hi @Qiu  sorry again!

We need to assign a record ID which would become a week number based on Source_first_name last_name column.  

Attached again - thanks

I think I got a step ahead.

Attached is the updated workflow but still not there.

I have to use an iterative macro. Kindly check  the results if that is what you need.
