SQL Ranking Based on Condition
SQL Ranking Based on Condition Understanding the Problem We are given a table with three columns: date_diff, date_time, and session_id. The task is to add a new column called session_id that ranks the rows based on the condition that if the time difference between the date_time is more than 30 minutes, then that will be counted as another session. We need to analyze this problem, understand the requirements, and find a solution.

Subsetting Table in R when IDs are Non-Unique and Values Match
Subsetting Table in R when IDs are non-unique and Values match Introduction When working with dataframes in R, it’s not uncommon to encounter rows that have the same ID but different values. In such cases, one might want to subset the table to keep only the rows where the ID is non-unique (i.e., appears more than once) and the value for that ID is also the same. In this article, we’ll explore a practical approach to achieve this using the tidyr package in R.
