Hi,

I have a result grid like this and I would like to select the rows where the last column value (variation) are the same for the same client. For example, in this case, I want to select the lines concerning the clients 44101 and 49747 in order to put them in red. Is there a way to make that?

CLIENT PRODUCT VARIATION

44101 ABC 44.56
44101 FDG 44.56
44101 GTR 44.56
44101 ZUF 44.56

45212 BAC 23.27
45212 FFG 09.51
45212 GTR 44.56
45212 ZUF 39.23

49747 KHG 95.22
49747 FRT 95.22
49747 SZT 95.22

51236 QWE 07.32
51236 HHG 08.25
51236 ZUJ 22.36

The code used for obtaining this gris is:

  
TABLE FILE MYTAB
PRINT 
PRODUCT
VARIATION
BY CLIENT
END


Thanks for your help,

Jereny,

ALL the same or at least 2 the same?

Jereny,

This should do the trick:
  
SET ASNAMES=ON
TABLE FILE JERENY
SUM CNT.DST.VAR AS SAMEV
BY CLIENT 
WHERE TOTAL CNT.DST.VAR EQ 1
ON TABLE HOLD AS SAMEVAR FORMAT FOCUS INDEX CLIENT
END
JOIN CLIENT IN JERENY TO CLIENT IN SAMEVAR AS J
TABLE FILE JERENY
PRINT VAR SAMEV NOPRINT
BY CLIENT BY PRODUCT
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=DATA, COLOR=RED, WHEN=SAMEV EQ 1, $
ENDSTYLE
END

Or, in a single step,
  
TABLE FILE MYTAB
SUM 
  MIN.VARIATION NOPRINT
  MAX.VARIATION NOPRINT
  COMPUTE SPREAD/P12.2 = MAX.VARIATION - MIN.VARIATION ; NOPRINT
BY CLIENT
PRINT 
  PRODUCT
  VARIATION
BY CLIENT
WHERE TOTAL SPREAD EQ 0;
END


This MIN/MAX/SPREAD approach works only for a numeric field; Danny's CNT.DST. method does not have that restriction.

On the other hand, if VARIATION is a floating-point field, identical displayed values may have slightly different underlying internal values. Then CNT.DST.VARIATION would treat them as differing and drop them from the report, whereas the P-format for SPREAD -- which rounds a "nearly zero" computed spread to zero -- will ignore the fuzz and render the expected result.

Jack,

Your approach is better and with the following you also take care of numeric and alpha:
TABLE FILE MYTAB
SUM 
  MIN.VARIATION NOPRINT
  MAX.VARIATION NOPRINT
  COMPUTE SPREAD/I1 = IF MAX.VARIATION EQ MIN.VARIATION THEN 0 ELSE 1; NOPRINT
BY CLIENT
PRINT 
  PRODUCT
  VARIATION
BY CLIENT
WHERE TOTAL SPREAD EQ 0;
END

Thanks a lot Danny and Jack.

I tested the first method posted by Danny and the result is correct. I will try now with the Jack's method.
