How to

I'm new to Alteryx and I'm trying to determine if what I want to do is actually possible. I've watched so many videos and read so many forums but still can't figure this out. Any help would be much appreciated!

 

I've made an example table below as there's a few things I want to do:

 

(1) I want to eliminate rows where [Manager Last Name] is not contained in [Manager Email]. For example, for Project A, I want to remove the emails for jason.trane@email.com and anna.strong@email.com but keep the email for Ron Smith because he is the Manager listed on Project A.

(2) However, I do not want to remove the rows where [Manager Last Name] and [Manager Email] are blank. For example, I want to keep the row for Project B because I need the information for [Director Full Name].

(3) Lastly, I want to remove any duplicate rows. For example, I want to remove one of the rows for Project B and one for Project C. The duplicate can be removed. 

ProjectDirector Full NameManager Full NameManager Last NameManager Email
Project ARyan JohnsonRon SmithSmithjason.trane@email.com

Project BSusan Neil

Thank you to anyone who is able to help!

@sallyarmstrong One way of doing this by applying the filter conditions

You can use this filter

I did the same as @geraldo but used the 1 to denote case insensitive instead of the upper case, either works and then just select on Project or Project/Director in the Unique Tool.
