Combination of codes on unique ID and Date

Etoo12121 — Thu, 12 Aug 2021 15:51:50 GMT

Hi all,

I have a bit of a tricky situation. In the dataset below, I have multiple ID's, dates and codes. I'm trying to figure out the best way to manipulate it such that:

for each ID and DATE that are the same, keep rows where CODE in (0441T, 0442T).

if ID and DATE are the same, keep rows that have a combination of both CODES 64640 AND C2618.

Data in bold is what should be kept if the logic works correctly.

CODE	ID	DATE
64640	12345	06/30/2020
64640	12345	06/30/2020
64640	23456	02/10/2020
C2618	23456	02/10/2020
C2618	34567	06/24/2020
C2618	45678	01/06/2020
0442T	56789	02/11/2020
C2618	67890	02/11/2020
64640	78901	02/14/2020
0441T	89012	02/10/2020
C2618	90123	02/17/2020
C2618	11234	01/22/2020
64640	22345	02/10/2020
64640	22345	02/10/2020
C2618	22345	02/10/2020
64640	22345	02/10/2020
64640	22345	02/10/2020
64640	22345	02/10/2020
0441T	33456	03/16/2020
C2618	33456	03/16/2020
64640	44555	03/22/2020
C2618	44555	04/18/2020

Any ideas on how to approach this?

OK, interesting problem.

But why are the following exluded?

0441T	33456	03/16/2020
C2618	33456	03/16/2020

I see a 0441T. Shouldn't those two be included?

Here's a sample program, but it's going to pick up the above two rows because of the 0441T. Results are below the code.

Hi @jimbarbour

Those two should't be included because the logic for 0441T should be just that code alone. It can't be in combination with any other code. The only combination allowed should be 64640 and C2618.

Ah, well, you didn't say that in your original post, but it can be accommodated. Take a look at the below code and results.

I'm basically scanning through all the rows and setting Boolean flags for each of the four codes you specified. When LAST. is true, I evaluate the flags to see what combination of codes has been encountered. If the combination meets the criteria, a row is added to the Keys dataset which is later inner joined with the Have dataset to obtain our final results. I've found the Boolean flag technique for situations like this. It's worth knowing about.
