Keeping only the latest date for unique ID
Hi Guys,
I have a question related to ETL transformation. I have a dataset including unique ID's and dates assigned to it. In many cases, there is multiple dates associated with the same unique ID. In my case I want to keep only the latest date associated with each ID. For example I have ID 2 with a date 10.18.2023. If my dataset updates in 2 days and I get the a new entry with ID 2 and date 10.20.2023, I want to have the entry with 10.18.2023 removed and only keep 10.20.2023 for the ID 2. Is it just remove duplicates? I'm not sure how the data would refresh when a new data entry appears in the dataset.
Thoughts?
Thanks

You would use a rank & window tile in Magic ETL. You would rank your data on date in descending order partitioned by the ID field. You would then use a filter tile to only keep rows where rank = 1.

Another option is to use the Group By tile and choose Max for the aggregation type on the date field.
