Comparing columns to generate new column

Hi all. 

I am looking to make a new column value based on the data in other columns in a row. 

For Example,

 Project 1Project 2Project 3Project 4Overlap

Asset A

X X YES
Asset B XX YES
Asset C X XYES
Asset D  XXYES
Asset E X  NO

 

Overlap would be the new column if 2 or more Projects have an X if only one project has an X it would say no. 

Thank you and I look forward to the solutions.

Hi @NY2BOS 

 

Here's how I would do this. This solution is dynamic in case more projects come into the dataset:

 

  1. Transpose project data
  2. Count non-null values
  3. IF Statement to check if count is >=2 and assign overlap value
  4. Join back to data
