Hi,

 

I need help to create syntax to identify the column if one the row contains specific value/string/data then create new column with unique value like example below if the STATUS column contains pending then create REVIEW column with HOLD value for the all rows.

You can use the Formula tool.

 

If you know what is the criteria then you can define it in an IF formula.

I tried to use Contains but it only applied per row. like if CONTAINS([STATUS],'PENDING') then 'HOLD' else 'PROCEED' Endif. its only change the row for pending but not the entire column
