I need to work out a way to handle duplicates when I import for the migration form our old system. How would you guys handle something like this?
I have contracts and contacts but with our old system we had to duplicate the contact if they had multiple contracts as we couldn’t assign multiple contracts to a contact.
Example:
[table]
[tr]
[th]Name[/th]
[th]Contact ID[/th]
[th]Contract ID[/th]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]John Smith[/td]
[td]123[/td]
[td]456[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]John Smith[/td]
[td]234[/td]
[td]567[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]
I have an excel spreadsheet of all the data but I need to find a way to combine the contacts to one ID. So John Smith would have 2 rows in the spreadsheet with the ID 123 but keeping the contract IDs
