Find duplicate column using max value fom another column and create a new column coded as 0 or 1
Hi,
Need to create a new column which finds the duplicates and gives a one to those duplicates which has the highest value in a different column. If 2 duplicates have the highest value give 1 only to the 1st. In the below table for the same customer and the report month if there is a duplicate value the one with the highest sales will be coded as 1 in the Selected column, for eg the combination of SWA and 31 Dec 21 has 2 sales rows; one with 2 and another with 4. The one with 4 will be coded as 1 in the Selected column and the other will be coded as 0.
|cust|Report_month|Sales|Selected|
|SWA| 31-Aug-21 | 0 | 1 |
|SWA| 30-Sep-21 | 0 | 1 |
|SWA| 31-Oct-21 | 0 | 1 |
**|SWA|30-Nov-21 | 0 | 1 |**
**|SWA|31-Dec-21 | 2 | 0 |**
|SWA|31-Dec-21 | 4 | 1 |

Hello:
Please check this out. If this analysis were to go into multiple years we would neeed to change month column to Year&Month, for now it is just answering the question as presented. Hope it helps.
