De Duping , Count Of Records Analysis

Afternoon Team, 


Hope all is well,

 

I am hoping you can help me. I have manually manipulated my data in excel and i am hoping i can leverage the power of Alteryx to help me automate this process going forward. 

 

In my Raw input File (Companies1) i have the following 4 columns 

 

Record TypeIDParent IDGlobal EntityId

 

 

Example Input 

 

Record TypeIDParent IDGlobal EntityId
EMEA0013a00001k5ccbAAA0013a00001f9VFuAAM0013a00001f9VFuAAM
EMEA0013a00001k5coyAAA0013a00001f9VFuAAM0013a00001f9VFuAAM
EMEA0013a00001k5cbOAAQ0013a00001f9VFuAAM0013a00001f9VFuAAM
EMEA0013a00001k763iAAA0013a00001f9VFuAAM0013a00001f9VFuAAM
EMEA0013a00001f9VFuAAM 0013a00001f9VFuAAM

 

Step 1 - Produce a new tab which has the Global EntityID de duped 

 

Once we have a new tab and the de-duped Global EntityID ( we will use this de-duped list and reference company1 input file to produce the final calculation) 

 

Step 2 - Count how many times "Global entityid" on the new tab is in the "Companies1" Global EntityID Column 

 

Create a new field called "Total" and the output of this calculation will go in the new column 

 

Step 3 - Count how many times "Global entityid" on the new tab is in the "Companies1" Parent Column 

 

Create a new field called " # Of Parents" and the output of this calculation will go in the new column 

 

Step 3 - math equation "Total - # Of Parents". Put this output into a field called "Difference" 

Step 4 - produce an outcome column which is an if statement to produce following output 

If Total = 1 & Difference = 1 Then "Standalone"

If Total > 1 & Difference = 1 then "1 hierarchy"

IF difference > 1 then "Multi Level Hierarchy"

 

Expected Output File headers

Global EntityIdTotal # Of ParentsDifferenceOutcome

 

 

Expected Outcome 

 

Global EntityIdTotal # Of ParentsDifferenceOutcome
0013a00001f9VFuAAM5411 hierarchy

 

Looking forward to your help & Guidance
