Transforming data

Hi Everyone,

 

A quick question. How do you change the format of data in alteryx. For example my input is this:

suds144_0-1644260993945.png

 

I want each appointment and event attended (respectively) to count for "1" irrespective of the total. So even if a student has attended 5 events I want it to equate to "1" because we're interested understanding the number of students who attended an event/appointment - not how many they attended in total.

Therefore, I want my output to be this:

Please can you help? I think I have to use the formula tool.

Hi @suds144 

 

You can apply the formula using multi-field formula like below.

I have another question. 

What if my input was this

And I wanted to combine the appointment attended and appointment drop-ins into one so my final output looks like this
