Hi,

I have this project report on which I need to count the number of people trained by region, version, and type of certification, the problem I have is that if the same person is certified in both versions I only want to coun it in the latest version. But I am stuck with how not to count it on version 9 if certified on both.

The sheet called specialization data is the report, the manual results are what it should actually come up with

Hi Carlos,

What version of Excel do you have?

Also, please clarify what you consider a duplicate. If we take the example of Nuno Nogueira who has 6 entries in the RawCertData, two with version 9 and 4 with version 10, which records would you count?

And the answer to my other question above: "Also, please clarify what you consider a duplicate. If we take the example of Nuno Nogueira who has 6 entries in the RawCertData, two with version 9 and 4 with version 10, which records would you count?"

hi,

so in the case of nuno, we look at product,level and version.

Name Email USER REGION Level NEW PRODUCT NEW PRODUCT VERSION We count this
Nuno Nogueira nnogueira@sample.com Amer Specialist PC 9  
Nuno Nogueira nnogueira@sample.com Amer Professional PC 9  
Nuno Nogueira nnogueira@sample.com Amer Professional PC 10 X
Nuno Nogueira nnogueira@sample.com Amer Ace Developer PC 10  
Nuno Nogueira nnogueira@sample.com Amer Assoc. Developer IS 10  
Nuno Nogueira nnogueira@sample.com Amer Specialist PC 10 X

So nuno, should be counted toward the Specialis/Amer/PC on version 10 and not on version 9, as we only want to count the most recent version when the resources has both the old and the new version. He should also be counted on the Professional/amer/PC on version 10 and not in the version 9 line.

Specialization                        
    Specialist Cert Requirement     Professional Cert Requirement  
  Required 50 10 20 10   Required 5 1 2 1  
PC Region AMER APAC EMEA LATAM   Region AMER APAC EMEA LATAM  
  9.0 Achieved 46 0 3 0   9.0 Achieved 3 0 0 0  
  10.0 Achieved 81 9 1 1   10.0 Achieved 9 0 0 0  
  Total Achieved 127 9 4 1   Total Achieved 12 0 0 0  
  Gap 77 -1 -16 -9   Gap 7 -1 -2 -1  
                         

let me know if this makes it more clear.

 

Regards,

Carlos

Hi Carlos,

Thanks for clarifying. You can use Power Query to remove the duplicates, then you can use a PivotTable to summarise the counts. See file attached:

Duplicates Removed sheet contains the query output

Manual Results sheet has the PivotTables alongside your examples. Note there are some discrepancies in your manual counts compared to the PivotTable.

I hope that helps.

Mynda
