Displaying only a particular value from a column

keeprollin

My original dataset looks very similar to the sample dataset attached in the workflow. I'm also listing it below:

 

IdNameCountry Department
1RonUSHR
2JohnUSHR
2JohnUSIT
2JohnUSIT
3KellyUSIT
3KellyUSIT
4DaveUSSales
4DaveUSIT
4DaveUSIT
4DaveUSMarketing
5NoraUSIT

 

I want to display the names of those employees who have worked only in the IT department. For example, John has worked in both HR and IT, so I would want to exclude his name from my output. Initially I thought of using group by, concatenating the columns country and department and then applying a filter but that does not seem to be a good solution. What should another approach be?

 

Based on the above example, my output should look something like the table below:

 

IdNameCountry Department
3KellyUSIT
3KellyUSIT
5NoraUSIT

Hi @keeprollin ,

 

Please find attached a sample workflow. This is one way of doing it. The other way would be using regex.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Best,

My way was identical to @JagdeeshN - That's the fastest way I can think of doing it.

Yes, that was my initial thought as a potential solution which I have mentioned in the post. However, I was just wondering if there was other approach to it instead of summarizing and concatenating.
