I work for an insurance company and have a database of claims filed in January through March (MTD) by claim date. I am trying to count duplicate claims. I have been using the address field to count duplicates - two claims from the same address constitutes duplicate claims. Counting duplicates that have the same claim date is easy. I put in a totals / group by line, and told Access to count the claim numbers where the group by address was equal and set the criteria >1. But, this method does not count duplicate that have different claim dates - it only counts duplicates where all of the data in the record is the same. I also ran a query deleting the claim date and was able to get a count of all the duplicates by claim address. However, I now need to go back and re-link the claim date to the data. (I have over 400K records, so I cannot export the data to Excel, unfortunately. )
Any ideas???
