Hi @Kinetic_analytics,

 

If I'm understanding your questions correctly, Alteryx cannot differentiate between a city name and the suffix of a company (LLC, Ltd. Inc., L.P. etc.). The best you can do is create a list of either your cities, or your company suffixes and then filter based on that list.

 

As an example, if I know all my company suffixes, I would the Custom filter configuration for the Filter tool with the following query:

[Field1] NOT IN ('LLC', 'Ltd.', 'Inc.', 'L.P.')

 

Alternatively, you could either load the suffix list as either it's own input (such as an Excel file), or typed directly into a Text Input tool and use a Join to apply the filter.

Hi @Kinetic_analytics 

 

Can you post the original data? I assume this relates to this post: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Discussions/How-to-separate/m-p/928983#M227381

 

If so, there might be a way to do this more cleanly.

Hi @Kinetic_analytics  - is there any consistency of using a comma or semi colon to separate the bank and city?
