Challenge #25: Creating Merchant Combos

Posting a potential solution to this use case.

The original requirements were asking if a unique UserID has any likelihood of visiting other stores, which would beg the question of which UserIDs were visiting two or more merchant. As such, I have filtered out instances where the Merchant1 field were null because this would be irrelevant to answering the original business question, unless we were examining two distinct populations: 1) those who only visit a singular merchant, and 2) those who visit two or more merchants.

Attaching workflow and diagram to help explain the steps I took. Hopefully it helps!

Solved using prime numbers, hoping the reasoning could be extended to n-th case!

The duplicate pairs slowed me down, but I got there.

I have to admin that I cheated a little bit on this one.

But it was a nice idea on how to get unique pairs of values.

Definitely going to use it some day!
