Missing values

Hi,

 

I have 2 kinds of files and i want to find a formula that say - group by X and sum. if you don't find X then group by Y and sum. 

 

the difference between the files is that one file has X column and the other has Y.

 

is that possible? 

 

Thanks in advance!

I am not sure if I understand correctly, maybe we need an example. 

 

You could just import the file without the header and then make sure that both files will have X or Y at the same position. This position (which will have a default name FieldX) can then be grouped via a summarize Tool.

I've uploaded an example file within there are to tabs with the same data beside the column name (amount/total charge)

 

so i want to tell Alteryx, "if you can't find column named "Amount", go to column named "total charge", and SUM it

@Tomer123 

2 Solutions in the attached WF, both should work. 

The 1st is static, if the column order or smth changes it won't work. 2nd will work ether way.
