How to treat string Field as formula condition

Hi,

 

I have some data as mapping file in order to find Eligible/non eligible data. 

My filtration criteria for eligibility is like below, 

This filtration is dynamic and it needs to be changed according to user's requirement who does not have developer license.

I have to take this string as input to formula, how it can be done ?

Is the dynamic formula tool from the Crew Macro pack your solution?

Please have a look at this link

Hi Wlliam, Thank you so much for the quick reply.

But the thing is we cannot use Crew Macro pack as our Organization's compliance rules.

 

Though,I have sorted out one solution using dynamic filter idea listed on below link: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Knowledge-Base/Dynamic-Filter/ta-p/9922

 

Attaching my solution where I am using formula instead of filter and passing the formula query string as input.

@prachikini Glad you got it working! I have an idea posted that would add an eval function. You should "like" the idea if you think it could help you. In your case, you could do something like eval([Concat_Value]) and it would process the formula in that field.

Hi @prachikini!

As a leader in the Alteryx Community, I have the ability to identify & mark accepted solutions on behalf of community members - and recently did so on this thread. Since you were able to solve the problem yourself, I've marked your post as a solution so that others can more easily find it.

 

Thank you!
