Jaganmohan

Hi Team - Need your support on below, Thanks in advance.

I need to generate result Column as a output (shown below).


Result Logic : In case last 3 days numbers are same then A  or if not then  B.

My challenge was dates (Column headings)  are keep changing because i am extracting last 3 days of information  and at the same time i need a final output with dates similar like below mentioned.

Are your columns always in the same order? You could skip field names in the input tool, and/or use a dynamic rename tool

Hi @Jaganmohan 

 

When you bring in the data, how does the preview look like for the first couple of rows? Are the dates in row 1 or row 2? You can set some logic where if it's null or empty, you can set the value to Date 1/Date 2/Date 3 and then use a dynamic rename tool to bring those values as column headers.

 

Attached is a sample WF that gets your output after taking making sure the column names can be scalable. 

 

Hope this helps.

Thanks - I am good with formula tool and generating Results out of that.

But, my challenge was those dates (Column headings) are keep on changing  and at the same time i need a solution with Result Column  with Dates as i mentioned in the table.

Notes : Dates are not constant....always i used to extract last 3 days info.

Hi,@Jaganmohan 

 

There is a easy way for dynamic calculate your  values of date-name fields.

BTW, the workfolow key point is formula to match all same values by use REGEX_Match()

Spoiler
IIF(REGEX_Match([Concat_Value], "^([^|]+?)\|\1\|\1$"), "A", "B")

If it can help you , please mark it as a solution and give a like for more share.
