Hello, I've searched, but have been unable to find / figure out how to solve my problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Each week I receive a new list and I need to break it up into several sub lists. The problem then comes that I need to sort the sub lists by an email field (not a problem) and then create further sub lists that contain any duplicate emails. At the end, each sub list should only have 1 copy of any given email. I'm not looking to delete duplicates, just separate them into unique sub-lists as the remainding information in the record is different and needs to be treated separately. Each list has a code taken from the first column in the list, and I would like to name them CODE-DATE-email-sublist#.csv. I can do this part already without the sublist# part - I'm guessing that I need to set up some sort of counter for that. The naming convention will always be the same, however I don't know ahead of time if there will be any duplicate emails etc. necessitating futher sub lists. Some original lists may contain several duplicates of 1 email, and some may contain none. There are about 30 columns of info in the lists, and I need to do a EntireRow copy, butI will give an example with just 3 columns to illustrate. Code Email info A a...@a.com 1 A b...@b.com 2 B c...@c.com 3 C d...@d.com 4 C d...@d.com 5 C d...@d.com 6 C e...@e.com 7 This original list would end up creating 5 distinct files for me at the end. A-Oct-27-2009-email-1.csv B-Oct-27-2009-email-1.csv C-Oct-27-2009-email-1.csv C-Oct-27-2009-email-2.csv C-Oct-27-2009-email-3.csv In the case of Code C, the first file saved would contain 2 rows, and the subsequent files would contain rows each. i.e. each file saved would contain fewer records until all of the duplicates have been dealt with. I hope that this makes sense, and please ask any questions you may have. Many many thanks for your help.
