Hello everyone,
Im thinking this is quite simple, and I can do it if I rig up various pivot tables etc in regular excel ranges, but I really want to accomplish this with Mcode

I am doing analysis of a list of almost 500 business reports from within a BI tool, checking for duplications, how many times reports have been run for their usefulness, etc.... One thing that I am trying to discover but cant quite get there, is out of the columns you see below, how to craft a new column that shows for all the given reports (below list is filtered of course), what reports reside ONLY within the [TEAM CONTENT DIRECTORY] for "User Folder".

So taking the below example, my conditional formula would do something like "count number of instances you see the report" = e.g. 2. If count=1 AND [TEAM CONTENT DIRECTORY]= "User Folder" , then "X", else null

So for the lines below, I would not get an X for the rows which that report is represented. However, if that report ONLY resided inside "User Folder", then I would expect to see an X or TRUE or whatever indicator we specify. Would greatly appreciate any pointers

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
Would also add that a way I found to accomplish was to create another table where I manually filtered to those conditions, and then just did a left join against the original master table. But maybe a more elegant solution?

Sounds like you need to do a groupby. It’s in the menu. You need to groupby folder and file name and add a count. You can then add the conditional column you describe (which is also in the menu)
