Unique an Array based on one of the columns

4 views (last 30 days)

I have a table bellow with more than 1000 rows:

The table has six columns. I want to remove the repeated rows with consideration of "Email" column. In another hand, if ithe eamil presents in one row is the same as the email presents in another row, just keep one of these repeated rows (I prefer to keep the last row). How can I do this?

splitapply(@unique ) with the group determined by the email column (might need findgroups)

This command " RR_new= unique(RR.Email) " return a unique table with only one column (email). I need the whole six columns.

In summary: use the second output of unique() to get the list of indices of table rows to index the table by.
You would not be applying unique to the Email -- you would be applying findgroups() to the email to get the grouping variable for splitapply
