Unlimited Key eXtraction (UKX)

Background: 

This script can be used to extract unlimited number of keys, which tries to address the limitation of IDEA wherein Key Value Extraction is possible only for the first 500 keys.

Date Extraction

Background: 

This script extracts a maximum of 24 specified dates entered (Enter Dates button) or loaded from a text file (Load Dates File button).  Days of the week can also be extracted into separate files. Specified dates or days of the week selection can be inverted by checking the "Output all dates NOT selected" box. Dates must be entered using the DDMM format. Text files with dates can be created for subsequent reuse or loading by selecting the Save Button after inputting dates via the Enter Dates button.

Payment Date vs Due Date

Background: 

This script allows you to take two date fields and perform three different extracts:

  1. First date field is less than second date field,
  2. First date field is equal to second date field, and
  3. First date field is greater than second date field.

It will then summarize the findings based on year and month.  You can select which date field to use for obtaining the date and month information.

Script updated Feb 12, 2019

The Same-Same-Different Test (SSD)

Background: 

The purpose of the Same-Same-Same test (SSS) and the Same-Same-Different test (SSD) IDEAScripts are to identify abnormal duplications as potential indicators of errors or fraud.

This script was originally writting using the Duplicate - Exclude function in IDEA but it turns out that there is a bug in version 7 and 8 of IDEA in which this function does not capture duplicate entries, it would only capture the first entry.  The script was rewritten to capture dulicates that fit the Same-Same-Different test.

September 2015 - Rewrote the interface.
