Count based on different columns combined.

Hi,

 

To give you some background information:
I'm trying to report the number of Job Requisitions (Job Req ID) who where published (job post name) internally (Job Posting: Internal posting) and externally (Job Posting: External Posting) on the same date (Posting Start Date).


Example:

 

In this example following job req id's should be counted:

  • 104588 = 1 double posting
  • 94584 = 1 double posting
  • 119917 = 0 double posting
  • 31630 = 0 double posting
  • 64128 = 0 double posting

 

Looking forward to your help!

Teis

      Hi 

       

      Thank you for helping me. It looks very promising, but I encoutered another issue in my dataset.

      I can count the number of 'double postings', but I need to count the double posting if the First posting is internal AND external.

      Example:

      In this example we see that jobreq ID 59685 and 60197 was first published internally before it was double posted.

      Do you think we can resolve this issue as well?

      Thanks,
      Teis
