Formula Tool - comparing if two columns have values

PDS4545

Hello

 

Is there a formula to compare if column 1 has a value and if column 2 has a value then output True in a new column or else output False.

 

A couple of additional items to keep in mind is that data types are different in both columns so i am not doing if column 1 equals column 2. and column 1 has dates in multiple formats. I have created column 2 to standardize the date formats but want to do a check that if column 1 has a value then i need column 2 to have a value as well.

 

Thank you in advance.

@PDS4545  - Yeah you can use the formula tool. Example would be:

result:

2024-03-26_10-25-16.png

 Hope that helps!

Hi @PDS4545 

 

If you're trying to see if the two columns have any value as opposed to a specific value then use

 

If not IsEmpty([Column1]) and not IsEmpty([column2]) then

   True

Else

   False

Endif
