Nice challenge, I used the formula into the generate row tool to recalculate the postal codes.

Thank you.

3 differences in this version vs. the supplied solution:

- Summarized the client file to minimize the data as soon as possible

- Summarized the client data using distinct by Client ID to avoid double counting (you never know when you may have duplicates)

- Added in a simple tester at the end (joining on all fields) to make sure that every row was an accurate copy of expectation.

Hi ,

 

When i going through community i found this wonderful weekly exercise and started playing around. I just did my first challenge. It is a good example to show the usefulness of generate rows tool.

 

Loved Doing this exercise. I will try to do the rest of the exercises.

 

Thanks,

Tharashasnak

Hi, I'm having an issue with the Generate Rows tool.  I think it's set correctly, but I'm getting the "Parse Error at char(0): Unknown variable "RowCount" error.  Any suggestions for how to fix, my good sirs/ma'ams?  Thank you, Kurt

Never mind--I didn't see the Loop Expression box at the bottom left of the Multiple Rows tool.  Got it now.  Thanks!
