Beast Mode

Beast Mode

How can I remove duplicates with a beast mode?

I want to remove duplicates from 1 or 2 columns, whichever is the easiest. I prefer the match ID column, or it also could be the Candidate column. I want to count each match ID once per the PPED (period end date.) I want to get a active count of matches on billing each week. If i can't do with a beast mode, I can also try ETL. I tried the below beast mode, but it doesn't work.

COUNT(DISTINCT Match Id)

    To get that output, you don't need to use any beastmodes. You can just create a table card and aggregate (SUM) on TotalBilled

    COUNT DISTINCT is the right function. What do you mean it doesn't work? Could you share a bit more?

    If you want to remove duplicates in Magic ETL you can do so using the Remove Duplicates tile. https://domo-support.domo.com/s/article/360044876614?language=en_US#remove_duplicates

  • The COUNT DISTINCT is not removing the duplicates. And if I remove dupes in ETL, i am losing the $ associated to the match ID's. The match ID's show up weekly, and I just want to count then once each week. Maybe I am not able to do so.

    Count Distinct doesn't "remove" the duplicates, it just ensures they are only counted once. Is this the output you are looking for?

  • Thank you. Good point. I also need a way to count how many candidates or matches, and that is why i was using the Distinct Count. Appreciate your help!

  • Okay, were you able to get the count of candidates or do you need help with that as well?

  • I am all good - thank you for asking!
