Remove Duplicate Rows

Hi,

I have a single file that has the following data:

BU/CoCdPartner USD Value 
QUTRNUS20   (6,102,059,771.00)
US20QUTRN     5,962,511,541.78

 

I created a workflow to put the data on one line and to calculate the difference:

BU/CoCdPartner USD Value  Right_BU/CoCd  Right_Partner  Right_USD Value  Difference 
QUTRNUS20   (6,102,059,771.00) US20 QUTRN      5,962,511,541.78  (139,548,229.22)
US20QUTRN     5,962,511,541.78 QUTRN  US20    (6,102,059,771.00)

  (139,548,229.22)

 

How can remove the duplicate row?  I tried to create a filter but it didn't work.  I only need one of the lines.  How do you suggest I limit the lines?

Thanks in advance.  You guys are all rock stars!!

Can you just filter on BU/CoCd = "QUTRN"? Are there only two rows in your final dataset?

Hi @lhbauman24 ,

 

Attached is an idea of a solution for your problem. 

I've created a recordID to control the lines and used a filter to remove one of them.

 

Let me know if this works for you.

Best,

Fernando Vizcaino

Hi @lhbauman24,

 

the are a couple ways to achieve this, here are my two favorites:

 

1) Unique Tool

Select the Difference Column in the Unique Tool and you are good to go

 

2) Sample Tool

You want only one of two lines? Use Sample with "First N rows" and set N = 1.

 

 

Regards

@lhbauman24 - Not completely understanding the bigger picture of what you are looking to achieve, I built a solution that helps you get one row with the difference in numbers.

 

Hope this helps.

Thanks everyone.  I had multiple companies not just the 2 in the example.  So this solution seems to have worked.
