HI All ,

 

I have below Table having Suppliers in 3 different Columns & Type in the last as shown below :

 

 

Supplier 1Supplier 2Supplier 3Final Type
XXXXYYYYXXXXGRIP 4
AAAABBBYYYYM12 Pins
BBBBCCCCZZZZ1/4 Pin

 

I need to Add the Final Supplier Column based on the Final Type . If , Type Contains "GRIP" , reflect the Supplier from Supplier 1 Field , if Type Contains "M12" reflect the Supplier from Supplier 2 & if it Contains "1/4" then Supplier 3.

 

Desired Output below :

 

Supplier 1Supplier 2Supplier 3Final TypeFinal Supplier
XXXXYYYYXXXXGRIP 4XXXX
AAAABBBYYYYM12 PinsBBB
BBBBCCCCZZZZ1/4 PinZZZZ

 

I tried using the Formula tool , however it doesn't refer the value from a Column . May be I am using an incorrect Tool.

Hi @DVikas , is this what you are trying to achieve?

 

Formula - if Contains([Final Type],"GRIP") then [Supplier 1] elseif Contains([Final Type],"M12") then [Supplier 2]
elseif Contains([Final Type],"1/4") then [Supplier 3] else null() endif

@DVikas , you are welcome, there might be a minor error in the logic written, if you want we can validate your logic in order to check what was the mistake?

Thanks.
