Hi,
Below is my requirement:
Input File:
| Code: |
Key Number
A 2
A 11
A 22
B 23
B 21 |
The Value of the field "Number" can be max of 100
Desired Output:
| Code: |
A 484 (product of all values under "A" in input 2*11*22)
B 483 (product of all values under "B" in input 23*21) |
Please can you help me with this?
Data corrected |

| How many records do you expect to be coming for a "Key" ? |

Hi Pandora,
Sorry about the confusion. I should have given the inputs correctly, my bad.
We are actually trying to acheive this formula:
(1+r1)*(1+r2)*(1+r3)...(1+rn) - 1
where 1<n<31 & -0.1<r<+0.1
So to answer your question each value will range between "-1.1 to +1.1" and max of 31 entries. |

Can you re-post representative data with expected outputs.
23*21 is not 483.
You do know that SORT truncates from multiplication/dvision? |

Hi Bill,
Reposting with the representative data:
Input:
| Code: |
Key Number
A 0.20
A 0.11
A 0.22
B 0.23
B 0.21 |
The max number of occurrences for a particular "Key" can be 31
The value of "Number" ranges from -1 to +1
Desired output:
(1+r1)*(1+r2)*(1+r3)...(1+rn) - 1
| Code: |
A 0.63 --> [(1+0.2)*(1+0.11)*(1+0.22) - 1]
B 0.49 --> [(1+0.23)*(1+0.21) - 1] |

Is some non-standard notation being used? |

Hi Pandora-Box,
That was my obvious answer! My manager for some weird reason wants this done in a sort card!  |

Hello,
Might your manager be able to provide some guidance?
Keep in mind if someone does come up with a complicated solution, your manager will be stuck with maintaining it. It is not likely you will be in that job forever. |
