Need help in creating a formula for IF Else statement

Hi Team,

 

I have this data below and just need a formula like If Else Statement to come up with the Output as shown below. The formula should not limit only to Job_3_value and Job_3_title. It would also allow if there are job_4_value or job_5_value, etc.

 

RecordJob_1_valueJob_1_titleJob_2_valueJob_1_titleJob_3_valueJob_3_title
A1Manager0 0 
B0 0 1Instructor
C0 1Director0 

 

Output:

Job Title
Manager
Instructor
Director

 

Thanks,

Jaime

Hi @jatienza 

 

I wouldn't use an if statement to do this given the variability in how many columns it needs to handle. I'd recommend something like this:

 

  1. Transpose the data (this will handle any new columns in the future)
  2. Filter to 'title' records with a value.

You can then update further via a select tool to reduce/rename the columns

Hi!

 

Sorry I think this is the correct raw data. So if the value is 1 then it will get the correct job title. It should allow if there are additional column for job_4_ value, etc.

 

RecordJob_1_valueJob_1_titleJob_2_valueJob_1_titleJob_3_valueJob_3_title

Output

Thanks,

Hi @jatienza 

 

Here's two ways - one with the make columns tool and one with the multirow formula tool to flag records that have the '1' in the value column.
