Good day everyone!
I have a a table, from where I can extract a column.
I wanna go down trough that column made of numbers
examine undetermined chunks of data and see or detect if that sequence
of chunk
of data has been repeated before
and if it has been repeated detect it by giving it a name in an
adjacent column.
Imagine someting like this but made of 1800 numbers... how can I build
up column 3(category)
Item price Category
400 1000028706 A
400 1000028707 A
400 1000028708 A
101 100 C
101 12 C
500 1000028706 A
500 1000028707 A
500 1000028708 A
500 1000028709 B
120 1000028706 A
120 1000028707 A
120 1000028708 A
120 100 C
