Comparing multiple rows to flag duplicate payments

RITESH TIBREWAL Oct 6, 2016 3:12 AM

Hi,

I am trying hard to find a way to Flag rows with same "vendor number + Payment date + Amount paid".

Here is a sample data set:

Invoice Number	Vendor Number	Payment Date	Amount Paid
12456	112	10/10/2016	45000
14450	142	23/10/2016	90000
32132	112	10/10/2016	45000
23408	112	10/10/2016	45000
56003	142	23/10/2016	34000

For this data, in Tableau I want this output:

Invoice number

Please help !!

Thanks,

Ritesh

You can try this. Put this cacl field on filters shelf and select "True".
Hope this is what you wanted.

Hi Ritesh,

Find my approach based on LOD-expressions and stored at Tableau Public here
Please test approach on bigger dataset to be sure all different scenario's are covered.

a. LOD expression: Count amount of invoice per Vendor

b. LOD expression: Total amount per Vendor

c. Calculation "Flag no flag"

Hope it helps...

Have a nice day.
