5000 Rows of Data with duplicate data
Hi bigrig33 ,
Better to Pivot the data with the Traning and Start Date as the Value
ooooor
You can have a dim table of the entries and the table on your screenshot will be the fact table
mussaenda Many thanks for replies, but again my stats will be skewed. So take the first two entires on screenshot, same full name, same payno, but they did two trainings on two seperate days, is there any way of getting all that info on the one line, without any data being lost. Like for Instance as i have over 5000 rows, I will have the same fullname duplicated 3 and 4 times because they have done 3 or 4 different trainings, but I still need to get stats on all the trainings they did, but I just want one entry of the Fullname and also the Payno not 3 or 4, if that makes sense. Regards..
I understand, but have you tried the suggestion? That is why it is important to have a star schema when building your data. For situations like this.
mussaenda i tried it but unfortunately doesn't seem to be working, see I receive this data on two seperate sheets, I don't create the data, so alot of cleanup, but ultimately, I want to know who has completed training and who hasn't but I don't want 3 or 4 records per person, I just want one row to show all the information relating to that person including there trainings and start dates for the training
Please provide a sample data that we can copy to provide with a solution
