Helper IIIExpanding Tables/Records that are multi-select fields
Hi
Quick question. I've got a datset with combined tables and records that when expanded against the main table, increases the number of rows or records due to the fact that these condensed tables are from a multi-select field. As an example if the the multi select field in Record #1 has a multi-select field field value of Value #1 and Value #2, when expanding that table, it would create two rows of records:
Record #1 Value #1
Record #1 Value #2
Is there a way to pivot this so that it doesn't duplicate the record numbers based on each item selected in a multi-select field?
Thanks heaps.
Mike
Hi Mike,
How to deal with the multi-values? Keep the first row (record)? Or count them? Let's see an example:
ComID Company c1 Microsoft EmpID ComID EmpName e1 c1 Jack e2 c1 John e3 c1 Sam
One row will turn to three rows after expanding. What do you want to deal with the other two rows?
Maybe here is your option.
Best Regard!
