Filtering out Duplicate data from source file.

Hi all, I'm working with a csv file which I selected as a source file, and I want to filter duplicate record from that source file before it reaches the destination. If I have to use output filter then what kind of filter I should use and also if there is any other way to filter out the duplicate records from the source CSV file?

  • Hi Dibyojyoti,

    For an FTP export, you can group rows together.

    Example:

    Before:

    {
      "page_of_records": [
        {
          "record": {
            "Column0": "US",
            "Column1": "CA",
            "Column2": "2"
          }
        },
        {
          "record": {
            "Column0": "US",
            "Column1": "AZ",
            "Column2": "3"
          }
        },
        {
          "record": {
            "Column0": "US",
            "Column1": "AR",
            "Column2": "5"
          }
        },
        {
          "record": {
            "Column0": "IN",
            "Column1": "AR",
            "Column2": "5"
          }
        },
        {
          "record": {
            "Column0": "IN",
            "Column1": "TS",
            "Column2": "8"
          }
        }
      ]
    }

    After:

    {
      "page_of_records": [
        {
          "rows": [
            {
              "Column0": "US",
              "Column1": "CA",
              "Column2": "2"
            },
            {
              "Column0": "US",
              "Column1": "AZ",
              "Column2": "3"
            },
            {
              "Column0": "US",
              "Column1": "AR",
              "Column2": "5"
            }
          ]
        },
        {
          "rows": [
            {
              "Column0": "IN",
              "Column1": "AR",
              "Column2": "5"
            },
            {
              "Column0": "IN",
              "Column1": "TS",
              "Column2": "8"
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }

    Let us know if this works for you. Feel free to revert back if you have any queries.
