Get a value from differerent columns

Hi All,

 

I have column A which contains a mix of 0s and 1s.

Column B contains a mix of 0s and 2s.

 

I kindly need a column C which pulls all the 1s and 2s from col. A&B.

Any suggestion?

 

Many Thanks,

Gaetano

Hi @Gaetano_B ,

 

I have attached a workflow that solves the issue. I have assumed that Flag and Flag 2 fields are strings. Otherwise you can use a Formula tool to add the two columns and then remove the records where the value is 0 

 

Let me know if that worked for you  🙂

Hi @Gaetano_B 

 

Can you try this formula it might be type issue. 

 

IF ToNumber([Flag])!=0 THEN [Flag] 
ELSEIF ToNumber([Flag2])!=0 THEN [Flag2] 
ELSE Null() ENDIF

 

Hope this fixes. Feel free to reach out if it doesnt fix.

This one will even work if there are spaces.

IF trim(ToString([Flag])," ")!="0" THEN [Flag] 
ELSEIF trim(ToString([Flag2])," ")!="0" THEN [Flag2] 
ELSE Null() ENDIF

Hope this helps 🙂
