Adding a "1" or a "0"
- 4 years ago
I separate the transformation steps. Not sure if this would improve the performance. You could have a try.
1. First click on Group By under Transform tab. Switch to Advanced section. Group on Employee column and perform the following two operations to add two new group columns:
Max WTE: Max on WTE column;
All Data: All Rows
2. Expand the All Data column.
3. Add a conditional column: Add column tab > Conditional column.
4. Remove unnecessary columns and resort columns.
Result:

I think of another method which can meet your need. Instead of comparing every WTE with the maximum WTE, I sort the grouped tables descendingly by WTE, then add an Index column starting from 0 in every grouped table. Then mark rows where index value is 0 as 1 in Head Count column. Open Query 2 in the new attached sample file to see detailed steps.

Sorry for the late reply. The operation needs to be modified a little bit. When grouping by, switch to Advanced option and group by Employee and Dept columns at the same time. See below image.
Then add an Index column to every grouped table, starting from 1 with increment 1. Mark every row with index 1 as 1 and mark other rows as 0. See Query 1 in the attachment.
Best regards,

You just need to modify the Group step in my last sample file. Group by only Employee column rather than Employee&Dept. Keep the other steps same. See the attached file.

Hi Jing the issue only arises when a person has a Duplicate NI No i.e. a "Yes" value recorded and they have temporary and permanent posts with the same WTE.
In the example Mr D has a permanent post and a temporary post so has a Duplicate NI No recorded as a YES value & in both posts he has 0.5 WTE. I need to ensure that where this happens that it always choses the permanent post but only where the person has a Duplicate NI No, where they have temporary and permanent posts and where they have duplicate WTE. I hope this clarifies it for you. Thank you Ciarán. This is only applicable to calculating the Organisational Headcount, not the Departmental one.
