Generate Row based on specific data in field

[lruchlin]

Hello I am trying to generate a new row of data based on specific data within a column. I am trying to use the row generator, but I can't figure out the expressions I would need to use. 

If the Address2 field has "PO Box" then Generate a new row with "PO Box 1232"  as the Address,  and add the rest of the columns 

Group	Address	Address2	Address3	City	State	Zip
3372	245 Pittsburgh Road	PO Box 1232		Butler	PA	16003

Thanks,

Lloyd

How about something like

I think @ivoller's solution is probably the one I would use because it is significantly easier to understand what is happening by looking at the workflow.  That said, I wondered if you could use the Generate Rows tool in the way you described and found out that you can.  See below!

Perhaps rather than generating new rows using the generate row tool, you can use the arrange tool. See the attached workflow.

@Treyson I think I have used the Arrange tool maybe twice in my career, so I appreciate you putting an example together!

I did see an issue if the Address2 field contains something like 'Suite 555' in which case it still creates the new row despite not containing the text "PO Box"

Not sure exactly how @lruchlin is using the Address2 fields so it still may work (i.e. is it always holding a second possible address and never holding a second component of the [Address] field) but just something to keep in mind.

[Treyson]

ah yes right. Maybe add a filter before with something like Contains([Address2],"PO BOX"). then union back together after the arrangement.

Hello,

This will work, since my other example would be suite or other data, withch it will also arrange. 

Thanks,
