I have a scenario where even with Excel I am not sure how thsi can be automated rather than doing manually.
My Excel chart look like so:
Country Customer Device Level DueDate Germany Aldi XYZ 3 12.12.20 Germany Aldi ABC 3 08.12.20 Germany Aldi ZUI 4 08.12.20 USA LIDL XYZ 2 12.12.20 USA LIDL ABC 2 12.12.20 Jordan Netto XYZ 4 12.12.20 Jordan Netto ZUI 3 01.11.20
I hope I recreate the situation correctly.
My aim is to sum up rows where the Country
and Customer
is identical and just differs in the Device
propertie.
These shoul be grouped int one row/item by creating a additional row (or replace existing one?) with the following conditions:
- in column
Device
list all devices mentioned seperated by;
or similar - For
Level
choose the maximum value - For
DueDate
choose the minimum value
So for example grouping three beginning elements into one could have this format:
Country Customer Device Level DueDate Germany Aldi XYZ;ABC;ZUI 4 08.12.20 <--- NEW USA LIDL XYZ 2 12.12.20 USA LIDL ABC 2 12.12.20 Jordan Netto XYZ 4 12.12.20 Jordan Netto ZUI 3 01.11.20
So the grouped rows are replaced by the new one. I currently know what I have to do but have noe clue how to perform this. MAybe this is also possible in Excel? I don't know any intelligence which check if different cells contains the same value and then combine them using a pattern. Could this be easier done wih R or should this be done by hand?
