Eliminating duplicated rows if condition met

Hello there, Alteryx fellows.

 

I'm facing a complex issue with my current workflow, and I need your help. In the table below this text, you can find an example (with mock names) of the data in which I'm working on. This a full list of the Resources who are involved in Chargeable projects along those ones who have no Chargeable projects in the 3 upcoming weeks. The ones with no chargeable projects need to be in the list and I've made them to appear with all the fields in blank except for their name and rank. However, some resources (take the examples of "the Offender, Bender" and "Fry, Phillip J.") are involved in both "Chargeable" and "Non Chargeable" (blank) projects, and I want them only to show the Chargeable ones.
In summary, I want a full list that shows all the resources who are engaged in a "Chargeable" plus the resources that aren't involved in any. How can I eliminate the "Blank" lines for those resources that also have a "Chargeable Project"?

@JaimeB One way of doing this with the multi-row tool

Hi @Binuacs,

 

I understand the logic behind this formula, but what happens if there is a resource with only one engagement (in blank) and the next resource has only one "chargeable engagement"? Wouldn't this multi-row formula assign to that case a "0"?

@JaimeB since these records don’t satisfy the multi-row tool condition, they always will be 1, you can test with sample records in the given workflow

Yes, you are right. Your formula is correct. Thanks!
