removing duplicated lines by specific rules
Hi Together,
i am quite new in the Knime world and would need your help to create a logic with specific rules for a “simple” duplicate row removal.
I have 4 excel files (Resistors, DaleResistors, Passives and Capacitors) that hold a material column and other columns like MOQ, Pack, Leadtimes etc.
With
Excel Reader Node
Constant Value Column Node
(to add a “Sourcefile” column with the name of the file like “Resistors”)
and Concatenate Node
i combined those 4 files together.
With a Duplicate Row Filter i would be able to identify all duplicated lines by column “Material”.
Now the question is:
I need a way to say
if a duplicate line is from Sourcefile “Passives” use that line and skip the other duplicated lines for that Material.
Else
if a duplicate line is from Sourcefile “Resistors” or “Capacitors” or “DaleResistors” use the first line found and skip the other duplicated lines for that Material.
As i have no clue which nodes are the best to use for that, are you able to help me?
I thought of an Rule Engine Node but i have no clue of programming really.
Thanks for your help
BR
Robert
