Enter Cost/number after selecting name from dropdown using alteryx analytic app

Hi All,

 

I am trying to achieve utilizing names from dropdown in such a way that, i can assign a number (cost/time) against that specific name only. 

Is that possible based on the Test input file in order to get an output attached?

Thanks,

db89

@binuacs hey thanks for the response! this is what i have been doing, but the problem is, it replaces the number when entered from the text box, but resets when i enter for the new person from the drop down. Say for A i entered 12, but when i select B and put 22, for A it goes back to default value.

@binuacs Thank you so much for sharing! however it is returning the default (10) value once the names are changed and a different value is entered in cost.

I think you want chained apps here so app a selection feeds to app b.
