Source and Target file out come

Arkouda

Hi all

 

I have a attached a file that has a source(s) and outcome tab 

 

Once tab Source 1 is the original data that has a persons place in the Company, office and team

 

the second tabs is data we received to change the persons Company, office or team.

 

What I'm trying to do is replace the old alpha and numeric values with the updated tab to get the final outcome in the outcome tool. I have used the join tool and the find and replace but it's not replacing the new office, team company or adding the new persons (new 2 rows)

I do have one follow up on this which I should have mentioned 

 

I have a colleague with more than one change - moving to a new office and entity (Co) 

 

How do you write it so it replaces the Office and Team for that colleague? the Entity and office should be replaced based on if there are more than one action item

 

ActionTo/FromEntityOfficeTeamPerson Number
Move - OfficeToESLGALI11001161335190
Move - EntityToESYA  1335190

 

Desired output would be 

ActionTo/FromEntityOfficeTeamPerson Number
 ToESYAALI11001161335190

Hi @Arkouda ,

 

I worked on it and here is the workflow.

 

Input: I gave an extra row which is unique to consider the general scenario.

I hope that this is the last request

 

if there are changes to Office and team for colleague, do I add it to the formula similar to the Action Formula or how would you write it

Hi @Arkouda 

 

For office (any string datatype) yes you want Last value use Entity formula if you want Blank use Action formula.

 

Team (any numeric datatype) its not needed.

 

Hope this helps 🙂
