Join Team Hierarcy to SharePoint User list

I've got 2 files (a team hierarchy from Remedy and a SharePoint user list of individual) that I need to join together in order to create a record in SharePoint for the SharePoint workflow to send an email notification. Each level of the hierarchy is a different field in SharePoint so that it executes the first workflow to the manager, and in 2 weeks to the Director and so on.   I'm unable to figure out how to join the Hierarchy with the user list so that I get the email for each individual but maintain the hierarchy structure.

 

The Remedy file has the team name along with manager, director and VP for each team.

File 1: Team Hierarchy (from Remedy) 
TeamManager NameDirector NameVP Name
Team 1Manager 1Director 1VP 1
Team 2Manager 2Director 2VP 2
Team 3Manager 3Director 3VP 3
Team 4Manager 4Director 4VP 4
Team 5Manager 5Director 5VP 5
Team 6Manager 6Director 6VP 6
Team 7Manager 7Director 7VP 7
Team 8Manager 8Director 8VP 8

 

The User list of by each individual.

File 2: Email Addresses (from SharePoint)
NameEmail Address
Manager 1Manager 1@company.com
Manager 2Manager 2@company.com
Manager 3Manager 3@company.com
Manager 4Manager 4@company.com
Manager 5Manager 5@company.com
Manager 6Manager 6@company.com
Manager 7Manager 7@company.com
Manager 8Manager 8@company.com
Director 1Director 1@company.com
Director 2Director 2@company.com
Director 3Director 3@company.com
Director 4Director 4@company.com
Director 5Director 5@company.com
Director 6Director 6@company.com
Director 7Director 7@company.com
Director 8Director 8@company.com
VP 1VP 1@company.com
VP 2VP 2@company.com
VP 3VP 3@company.com
VP 4VP 4@company.com
VP 5VP 5@company.com
VP 6VP 6@company.com
VP 7VP 7@company.com
VP 8VP 8@company.com

 

Preferred output would look like:

File 3: Team with hierarchy and email addresses    
TeamManagerManager Email AddressDirectorDirector EmailVPVP Email
Team 1Manager 1Manager 1@company.comDirector 1Director 1@company.comVP 1VP 1@company.com
Team 2Manager 2Manager 2@company.comDirector 2Director 2@company.comVP 2VP 2@company.com
Team 3Manager 3Manager 3@company.comDirector 3Director 3@company.comVP 3VP 3@company.com
Team 4Manager 4Manager 4@company.comDirector 4Director 4@company.comVP 4VP 4@company.com
Team 5Manager 5Manager 5@company.comDirector 5Director 5@company.comVP 5VP 5@company.com
Team 6Manager 6Manager 6@company.comDirector 6Director 6@company.comVP 6VP 6@company.com
Team 7Manager 7Manager 7@company.comDirector 7Director 7@company.comVP 7VP 7@company.com
Team 8Manager 8Manager 8@company.comDirector 8Director 8@company.comVP 8VP 8@company.com

 

I tried to join on the name, but it only joins the one field and not the hierarchy.  I know it's got to be easy, but it's got me stumped.  any insight or help is appreciated.  thanks!

Try using the Transpose tool while grouping by Team Name (to keep things grouped together by team), which will put all your Manager/Director/VP names in one column as values... then join that Value column to the list of names + emails using a Join or Find & Replace tool. You can then Cross-Tab the results back to get to your original layout (with a little tweaking...) - I included a workflow that shows a few tricks using Formula and Multi-Field Formula tools to get the data parsed in the right fields... hope that helps!

Thanks so much!   this worked perfect and I learned about the Multi-Field Formula that I would have never thought to use before.
