Hi,

 

I have Data of 2 days, Previous Day and current day. I wanted to compare Previous day's Data with Today's data. If Previous date Data is Repeated in Today's date the output should be "Yes" , If it is not repeated in today's date then it is "No".  Reference table attached below.  For example employee ID 'a' of 9/29/2022 is not repeated on 9/30/2022 so output is "No", 'b' is repeated on Current day so it is 'Yes'.. Could you please help with this...

@Ayaanarjun-5885  have you tried multi-row formula?

i think you want a full join, and look for the rows on the inner join

I can match your desired output by splitting the dates and joining on ID. Those IDs in both days will come out of the J Anchor and can be marked 'Yes', while those coming out of the L Anchor can be marked 'No', and then everything can be unioned back together.
