Hey Danny,

 

Thank you for providing the workflow. I have some additional data to incorporate.
Could you please provide the formula needed to update the tool in order to achieve the desired output as described below?

Hi,

You can use the same logic in the Formula tool of the original solution I provided.

They are just IF statements to say if one column is null then take then take the original value and if not take the new one :)

It'll be worth you digging through my original solution in order to learn how to complete next time....learning is winning! 

Thanks

Danny
