Remove duplicated rows based on other empty fields

[ogonzalesdiaz]

Hi, how do I remove duplicated rows from Recipient, where the key to identify the duplicated rows is the column "national_id" and we'd like to remove the rows where first_name and last_name are empty.

I think the deduplication activity only works on temporary results, and wouldn't remove the duplicated rows from Recipients, right?

Edit 1: 

I tried to use a deduplication and then a delete activity, but , of course, the delete activity deleted both records with the same national_id, regardless if they had first and last name data.

Not sure if is the same since the Deduplication activity only separates but don't remove the duplicated Recipients from Recipients table. 

Please, see edit 1 in this new question.

@ogonzalesdiaz , share the screenshot of Update data (delete) activity configuration, to see your reconciliation configuration.

And what is the primary key in your targeting dimension schema?

I made a mistake, in the update/delete activity where it was considering the "national_id" to do the match up. It should have used the primary key to do the reconciliation instead of the "national_id".
