The Unique tool enables you select one or several columns that should be unique whereby all the duplicate rows are removed.
The Unique tool keeps the first rows that is unique and discards all the
following duplicates
The Filter tool outputs two anchors. That means you can easily access the rows that pass through the filter and the rows that don’t.
Note that when you select multiple columns, you create column pairs behind the scenes - almost like combining the two (or more) columns into a new column. If you dataset looks like this:
| amount | text |
|---|
| 100 | Hello |
| 200 | World |
| 300 | World |
| 200 | Hello World |
| 100 | hello world |
There are then three possible options and output:
- amount should be unique which outputs the first three rows
- text should be unique which outputs the first two rows and last two rows
- amount and text should be unique which outputs all five rows
