@bubblyjai1982 - Based on the data provided it looks like you're matching data from two streams - can you use the Join tool instead of Find and Replace? You can join on multiple fields to get your matches and tag them as matched with a formula tool. Tag the records that don't match (L or R) as unmatched and union back together.

Sorry this may not work for me !!

 

Let me reframe, I have a records which are not same as per input and output and I want to perform Vlookup function without disturbing the original records and with multiple different sheets one by one. In this case if i use join tool may not give original records with correct results.

 

Please find the latest input file and expected output

 

Appreciate if you could help with workflow 

 

Thanks

Hi All,

 

Can anyone please assist me with solution. I'm new to Alteryx would be thankful if you help on this .

 

Let me reframe, I have a records which are not exactly same i.e. Original record is with 10 refs and want to perform Vlookup with file which may not have all 10 refs. Hence If I use Join Tool will give the result of records which are common match.

And also I want to perform Vlookup function with multiple different sheets(records) one by one, without disturbing the original records and if i use join tool may not give original records with correct results.

 

Please find the latest input file and expected output

 

Appreciate if you could help with workflow

@bubblyjai1982 - Is something like the attached what you're looking to do? This approach creates duplicates as there are records in input 1 and 2 that have the same Name and Reset Date but different Reset Rates.

Yes please it is creating duplicate records but this is helpful and my query is resolved.
