Create and populate a column using IF conditions

Inactive User
Not applicable

Hello community,

 

I'm looking to create column A (Change Type) and populate based on these conditions:

 

- If Column E (New Value)'s cell shows "Terminated", the value for that employee in Column A will populate "Terminated".

- If Column D doesn't show value for multiple rows but has values in Column E, then Column A should indicate "New Employee"

- If Column D & E have values for multiple rows then, populate "Update" in Column A.

 

I've attached the desire output. Hope it makes sense.

Hi @Inactive User 

 

It looks like you want to use a multi-row tool to fill down the values. Here's a thread that tells you how. Be sure to mark the replies to your post as solutions if they got you what you need.

@Emmanuel_G, I need to correct my previous question, the second column doesn't always have the value at the top. Does the multi row function still work?
