If data correction methods are available, the Data Correction Method controls become active. These methods update all rows in which member descriptions have multiple parent descriptions.

Data Correction Method:

• Update Parent Description with Most Common Parent Description: This option sets the parent description to the parent description that exists in the most number of rows for each member. For members that have an equal number of rows with the same different parent description, this method applies the first parent description value to the rows for that member.

• Update Parent Description with Selected Parent Description: This option sets the parent description to the parent description in the selected row.

• Concatenate Description with Parent Description: This option sets the description to the member description plus the parent description, optionally separated by the specified characters.

  • Separator: One or more characters to place between the member and parent descriptions. The default value is a comma and a space.

The SQL statement for the correction method appears below the option.
