Count Distinct Function

HM

Hi,

 

I was wondering whether there was a Count Distinct Function? I know the summarise tool has it but I need to filter my data each time and then join it back to the main dataset which is making it very messy. Details below:

 

Data Input:

Project Red Yellow Blue Green Orange
1 Y Y N Y Y
2 N N N N Y
3 Y N Y Y Y
4 Y Y Y N Y
5 Y N N Y Y

 

Desired Output:

Project Red Yellow Blue Green Orange Count No. projects where Red = Y Yellow = Y Blue = Y Green = Y Orange = Y
1 Y Y N Y Y 4 2 2 3 5
2 N N N N Y 4 2 2 3 5
3 Y N Y Y Y 4 2 2 3 5
4 Y Y Y N Y 4 2 2 3 5
5 Y N N Y Y 4 2 2 3 5

 

Thanks!

You can use Transpose and CrossTab to make this a simpler operation.

 

Transpose to convert the Input to Project, Colour, Value.

You can then do the summarise to produce totals for each colour = Y

Then crosstab back to produce a single row 

Finally append fields to original set.

 

Have attached a demo workflow

Thankyou so much for this workflow

Since there is hyphen in raw data so when I am trying to count , its considering hyphen as well.

I have cleaned it up using regreplace function as well but its not working.

Please find workflow below.
