Applying same formula over multiple fields in a particular order

Eug_teng

Hi all,

 

I would like to apply a formula to multiple fields in a particular order based on their field headers but I am unsure of how to go about doing it. Do see the problem below:

 

Sample Input

NumberCodeAddressRight_NumberRight_CodeRight_Address
123ABCstreet 11123ABCstreet 11
456DEFstreet 12457DEFstreet 13
789GHIstreet 13711GHQstreet 13

 

I would like to match the value in this order:

  • "Number" -> "Right_Number"
  • "Code" -> "Right_Code"
  • "Address" -> "Right_Address"

If the values are matching, an additional column should be created with the output "Good", else "Bad"

 

Sample Ouput

NumberCodeAddressRight_NumberRight_CodeRight_AddressNumber_ReviewCode_ReviewAddress_Review
123ABCstreet 11123ABCstreet 11GoodGoodGood
456DEFstreet 12457DEFstreet 13BadGoodBad
789GHIstreet 13711GHQstreet 13BadBadGood

 

How do I get this output without having to use the formula tool and matching them based on field header name assuming I have alot of fields instead of just these few?

 

Thank you!

Hope this works for you and I believe you will agree that we have to give a definitive input for the columns for columns to be grouped. or your table names follow a certain pattern.
