Assign One Value in Separate Column Based on Multiple Values

Hello All,

 

I'm very new to Alteryx and I'm trying to assign a category to separate values. My table is below.

 

BUFlex 1
648 
BE 
CE 
TE 
645 

 

In column Flex 1, I'm trying to assign "US" to BE, CE, and TE and also assign "4N" to 648 and 645. This is just a sample so my BU column is significant.

 

I've tried the formula tool using the IF/ELSE (If [BU]="BE" or "CE" or "TE" then "US" else "4N" endif) statement but the entire BU column shows only as US or 4N depending on whether I use OR or AND.

 

I'd be grateful for any help.

 

Thanks!

Hi @CS382,

 

Your syntax is off a little. You need to include the relevant column in each of your "Or" clauses. Try these alternatives: 

 

If [BU]="BE" or [BU]="CE" or [BU]="TE" then "US" else "4N" endif

Less code:
IIF([BU] in ('BE', 'CE', 'TE'), 'US', '4N')
