deleting duplicate rows from dataset

reddy19 · Posted 05-26-2011 07:04 PM

Hi,

I'm exploring enterprise guide...I would like to know how to eliminate duplicate records from external file (XL or CVS).

And also how would i delete entire row if one colum is empty using EG 4.1.

Thanks,
reddy

You can easily do this with the Query Builder. Specify the columns you want, tick the box to get "distinct" records only, and set a filter to eliminate values that are MISSING (or NULL, as I think was used in the 4.1 query builder terminology).

The output table would have the result you want.
