Combining Fields

[Robert31395]

I need to combine multiple fields in the following way. I have attached a sample input file.

There are 4 fields that I will call field1, field2, field3, field4. Each field has multiple records that can contain 1 of 3 values: "Exempt", "Taxable" or blank.

I would like to create a resultant field called "Result" that contains the following:

(I created a field called desired result that contains what I would like the "Result" field to contain)

"Exempt" if all 4 fields contain either "Exempt" or are blank

"Taxable" if all 4 fields contain either "Taxable" or are blank

"Mixed" if at least 1 of the 4 fields contains "Exempt" and at least 1 of the 4 fields contains "Taxable"

I know that I could do this with nested if then statements or filters, but I am sure there is an easier way.

Thank You

Hi @Robert31395,

I think the simplest method is a IF/ELSEIF formula.  Attached is a workflow using your data.  If your data is limited to just the four columns, a single formula tool will work.  If it is considerably more or a dynamic/unknown number of columns, then the second option will do the job.
