How to match two columns

Hi I have two columns where I have to match and based on the condition I have to remove the records which do not satisfy 

 

prd_idcodecode_2
123PBINT
123PB

TK

345PB

TK

345CKNY
789PBINT

 

Condition:

1. if code and code_2 has PB and INT, that whole record (prd_id) is a pass like prod_id 123

2. 345 record does not have PB and INT so it is as exception

Output:

prd_idresult
123pass
789pass
345exception

as per @Qiu 's solution - treat this like you would do in Excel.   For each of your tests you can create a column using the formula tool for the result of the test (Yes or No; true or false), and then just filter out the rows that don't pass your test.

Using this method you can build some very robust rules in a transparent way.

 

So for your data the rule would be in a formula tool - a new field called "Rule1Pass", with a type of String

 

if [code]=='PB' and [code_2] = 'INT' then 'Pass'

else 'Exception'

endif
