Boolean Field Combo = Update or Create Field

tcwildhart

I believe this is easy, but I can't seem to figure out why I can't get it to work. 

 

I have a data set with data in bool data type. (Example Below)

CodeC1 EnabledManual C1Q2 EnabledManual Q2
ABCFALSEFALSEFALSETRUE
DFGTRUEFALSETRUETRUE
BNMTRUETRUETRUEFALSE
ZXCFALSETRUEFALSEFALSE

 

Depending on the value combos... I want the data to come out like the following:

CodeC1 EnabledManual C1Q2 EnabledManual Q2Status1Status2
ABCFALSEFALSEFALSETRUENoNo
DFGTRUEFALSETRUETRUEAutoManual
BNMTRUETRUETRUEFALSEManualAuto
ZXCFALSETRUEFALSEFALSENoNo

 

You can see from the data above, there are 3 possible status types given 4 combinations of each type - C1/C1 and C2/C2

 

The formula below... does update Status1... but I can only get Auto and '0' and the logic doesn't seem to work. 

IF  [C1 Enabled]  &&  [Manual C1]  THEN  [Status1]  =  'No'  ELSE  'Auto'  ENDIF

 

1. What is wrong with my logic? 

2. Is it possible to have Alteryx create the column for me to enter the data? Or, do I need to provide the field for in which the data will be written given the conditional formula? 

3. How do I get the formula to check for the different conditions and then output the correct one?

What you've shown would return "No" if the two columns were TRUE. Also I don't see anything to account for "Manual". This works for Status1:

 

IF ![C1 Enabled]
THEN "No"
ELSEIF [Manual C1]
THEN "Manual"
ELSE "Auto"
ENDIF

 

I've attached a workflow that gives the result you were looking for.
