Hi everyone,
I am trying to set up a dynamic filtering function i.e. a function which will filter on a given column against a list of values which is dynamic i.e. which is based on a user's input. In other word:
1. The user provides his list of conditions as an input CSV file. See attached "User_Filtering_Condition" which is pre-populated (for the sake of the example here) with a list of values to filter for (the first cell is a header)
2. A dataset made of a number of columns and rows. One of the column, called "Topic", is the column where we want to look for the conditions outlined above. For the sake of the example, I have only retained the "Topic column from the dataset (See "Dataset")
The goal is to return the same dataset with one additional binary ("Yes" / "No") column called "Condition Met", which indicates whether any of the values from the "User_Filtering_Condition" file have been found on the "Topic" column. I am trying to flag whenever a condition provided by the user is found in one of the cells from the "Topic" column. The "Output" file attached is what I would expect to return.
Any idea how to do that? I thought of using a batch macro but I am having a hard time, macros are not my strengths on Alteryx.
Thanks everyone for your perspective.
Barthe
