AO Match Report by Source
This reporting macro is designed to categorize all matches and give counts. Advanced Object (AO) Match Report by Source takes a single stream as input and produces a single output categorizing all matches and giving counts by priority value and type of match. The input table must have Source, Priority, and Match ID predefined. In addition, you may supply some "tie breaker" logic for refining the match priority of records within a match group.
An example output:
Reported ID | Source | Priority | Suppress | Record Count | Unique Count | Single Master Count | Single Dupe Count | Multiple Master Count | Multiple Dupe Count | Suppress Master Count | Suppress Dupe Count |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
IND_ID | MASTER | 1 | N | 5088 | 435 | 93 | 110 | 2339 | 2111 | 111 | 15 |
IND_ID | UPDATE | 10 | Y | 4912 | 454 | 75 | 94 | 0 | 4289 | 215 | 191 |
| TOTAL |

| 10000 | 889 | 168 | 204 | 2339 | 6400 | 326 |

AO Match Report by Source configuration parameters
AO Match Report by Source has three sets of configuration parameters: Input, Output, and Master.
AO Match Report by Source Input tab
Match ID | Required. For correct reporting, this will assume empty (null) values are Unique (U) and calculate single source only matches (S) and multi source matches (M) based on the Source value. Default: Blank. |
Source | Required. Source name, typically assigned using AO Define Source. Default: |
Priority | Required. Match Rank Priority value. This is typically assigned using AO Define Source and determines a record's position in a match group. This will determine which source receives the "Master" designation in multi source matches. If you have used AO Match Append Info already, use the output Group Order field as the priority. This will eliminate the need for tie-breakers. Default: |
Suppress flag | Indicates that the record is from a source used for suppression (value should be Y or N). Default: Blank. |
AO Match Report by Source Output tab
Counts
Records | Total records from each data source. Default: |
Uniques | Total number of records matching no other record. |
Single-source masters | Total number of records matching only within a single source (single source masters). Default: |
Multi-source masters | Total number of records that are the first record of a group matching only one source (multi-source masters). Default: |
Suppressed masters | Total number of records that are the first record of a group matching a suppression source. Default: |
Single-source dupes | Total number of presumed duplicates (records 2 through N) of groups matching only within a single source (single source duplicates). Default: |
Multi-source dupes | Total number of presumed duplicates (records 2 through N) of groups matching more than one source (multi-source duplicates). Default: |
Suppressed dupes | Total number of presumed duplicates (records 2 through N) of groups matching a suppression source. Default: |
Match ID
Append reported ID? | If selected, outputs the name of the ID used to generate the values. Default: Yes. |
Reported ID | ID field name. Default: |
AO Match Report by Source Master tab
Note that values in text fields sort in alphabetical order, even if the characters are numbers. Numbers are sorted by the first digit, then by the second digit, and so on, instead of by the numeric values. Thus "12" will appear before "7". Check data types or use leading zeros ("07") to ensure correct tie-breaking. Most text fields have a limit of 100MB.
Random priority | Uses random sorting as final tie-breaker. This option may generate different results for each run. If this is option is not selected, the final tie-breaker is the input record order. Default: No. |
Tie-breaker field 1 | The first field used to break priority ties. Default: Blank. |
Order 1 | If ASCENDING, then lower values of Tie-breaker 1 field will have higher priority. Default: ASCENDING. |
Tie-breaker field 2 | The second field used to break priority ties. Default: Blank. |
Order 2 | If ASCENDING, then lower values of Tie-breaker 2 field will have higher priority. Default: ASCENDING. |
Tie-breaker field 3 | The third field used to break priority ties. Default: Blank. |
Order 3 | If ASCENDING, then lower values of Tie-breaker 3 field will have higher priority. Default: ASCENDING. |

Optionally, select Suppress flag and select the suppression flag field.
Optionally, select the Output tab and edit output field names.
Optionally, select the Master tab and configure master record options:
Select Random priority to use random sorting as final tie-breaker rather than input record order.
Select Tie breaker field 1 and select a field to be used as final tie-breaker, and then select Order 1 and select Ascending or Descending sort order. You may add up to three tie-breaker fields.
