Advise on updating a control parameter based on a filter

Question

Hi All,

I've been building a batch macro recently and I've hit a road block I'm trying to update my Filter/Control Parameter based on the Name.

essentially I will be adding another stream so if the Name does equal Dean Test I would like the control parameter to recognise this and do what will be in the new second stream once I add it.

I hope i explained this well as I feel like i potentially haven't any guidance on this would be really appreciated as I'm at a complete stump with this part

@OllieClarke cheers for taking the time to keep this thread active I think that WF you provided will be a good base point to try a different approach

@Deano478 you may not need a batch macro. If you've got a limited number of approaches, you can filter your data, then build the approach off the true. You can than build the other approach off the false (or if you've got multiple other approaches, repeat the filter process).
You can then union all approaches back together at the end if you want. Does that help?

@OllieClarke essentially what i'm trying to do is lets say you input a file and the client is OllieClarke Certain columns will be mapped to be certain things. However if the user inputs a file called DeanTest then the columns would map a different way etc.. so that why I'm trying to set the control parameter to pick up on the client name column and for the few variations I'll have nap the columns a different way hence my thinking with the filter and Control Param, but i'm at the block of trying to figure out of if the client name is different how do i tell the macro actually we want to map the Ollie Columns and not Deans columns
