Creating a Pivot and bringing multiple columns and doing vlookup

Hi Team,

 

Two things i would like my workflow to do.

 

1) Create a pivot on the File A with below format output.

2) Vlookup on the file A with file B with the common key as ID.

3) Final output where ids are matching in A and B.

 

I have created a pivot but i am not sure how to bring "Vendor name" into the final output.

Hi @sriniprad08,

 

If you are asking about output B I believe you need to use join tool and join the data on the ID column

Hi @sriniprad08,

 

I have prepared a mock-up for you.

Hi @sriniprad08 

 

Sorry my bad to get vendor name also.

 

Just select column in join tool.

 

But it looks more like a grouby ID & name and sum of cost. Numbers match.

Hi @sriniprad08 

 

I would suggest using find and replace instead of join for vlookup.

 

Join will create 1-many match there by creating multiple rows

 

Here is the workflow

Output A:

Output B: Find and replace

Join: creates more rows.
