comparing column data and add if not present
I have the following data:
Order Group 1 Group 2 Group 2 Group 2 |Target1 Target2 782187 PRT |EQP 782679 BPR | BPR 783014 EQP PRT |EQP 783016 EQP PRT |EQP I would like to check each line and where group1 has a value, check to see if that value is in the target columns; it could be target1, 2, 3, 4. If it does exist then do nothing. If it doesn't exist then bring it over into ONE of the empty columns under either group 1-5 BUT it must not over write an existing value and it must have a unique value. So the output for this example would be. Order Group 1 Group 2 Group 2 Group 2 |Target1 Target2 782187 PRT EQP |EQP 782679 BPR | BPR 783014 EQP PRT |EQP 783016 EQP PRT |EQP You noticed I only added "EQP to the top line, the others were OK, because it already had the within the set. I have a few idea's brewing but I thought I would give the experts a shout to see who finishes first - smile. |
