Select customers who only buy from specific suppliers?

Posted on Aug 11, 2016 at 01:03 PM 14 Views

Hello,

I am working on a report and one of the requirements is to compare how customers who purchase from supplier "A" only or supplier "B" only are doing compared to those who buy from "A" and "B"

So I need a formula that will return "Supplier "A" only customer" or "Suppler "B" only customer" , or "Shared customer" instead of the actual customer's name in the report

Any suggestions on what the variable formula for this would be?

Many thanks

Adrian

    Hi,

    I would suggest you to create two Queries

    Query1 will have Query Filter as Supplier equals to A

    Query2 will have Query Filter as Supplier equals to B


    and then merge the two queries on Customer ID and then at report level you can have it listed which customer had which supplier and which has both.


    Another option is to go with Set Operations using Combined Queries please refer below documents.
