Detect Duplicated Value

Dear Experts,

 

LookUp formula can compare and detect exact match duplicated value:

However, What is the best way to detect "approximate match" duplicated value? I want to treat 123456789-1 as duplicated value with 123456789-01 or 123456789-001.

    Hi @JAWL 
    You can use lookup to check duplicate here is an sample app I have added for all scenarios including popup 

     

     

     

    If(
     IsBlank(
     LookUp(
     DataSource,
     InvoiceNumber = txtInvoiceNumber.Text
     )
     ),
     "",
     Notify(
     "â›” Duplicate Invoice(s) Found " & LookUp(
     DataSource,
     InvoiceNumber = txtInvoiceNumber.Text
     ).Name & " - #" & txtName.Text,
     Error
     );
     UpdateContext({varShowEdit: true})
    )

    Hi @Ramole 

     

    I cannot accept this as solution yet. What I want is for duplication rule to omit zeros. E.g. treat 123456789-01 as duplicate with 123456789-1.
