I have an excel spreadsheet returned from my database which, among other data
elements, provides the following critical data: Household Unique (hlduniq) in Column A House Number (housenum) in Column E Streetname (streetname) in Column F Is it possible to write coding to return records of duplicate addresses? What I was thinking of doing was writing something to say if house number is the same and the first 5 characters of streetname are the same and household unique is different, then return the record for resolution. In the end, in one school building, I have over 10,000 student records to look through to see if the street number and street name are the same and the household ID is different, then I have a duplciate household in my system. Is there a way I can write code to look at my data for me and return the records the coding finds fits my criteria so I do not have to look through 10,000 records by hand? I am an extreme novice at this so any assistance you can provide to help me learn how to write this type of logic would be most appreciated. Thanks for reading this post. |
