Hi Team,

 

 I have data and wants to find True and False. I want if first three letters and last three letters are the same then we should mark as True or False.

 

Please find example below:

AAResult
abs/zsd/rdfFALSE
abs/zsd/absTRUE
tbs/zsd/absFALSE
zbs/zsd/absFALSE
zbs/zsd/zbsTRUE

Hi @mmustkee 

 

You can use Left() function to get first 3 and Right() function to get last 3 characters and compare them.

 

You can refer to the documentation page for its usage https://help.alteryx.com/20221/designer/string-functions

 

Hope this helps : )

Hi @mmustkee 

 

Left() function and Right() function are dynamic to get first 3 and last 3 characters. Hence it should be able to handle it.

 

Here is a workflow with explanation
