concatenation of a a new column based on two previous columns

Team, 

I need your help 

I have two columns called :

  • Status 1
  • Status 2 

I would like to produce a new column called "Status 3",  Status 3 should be the overall concatenation of the values in  "Status 1" with the values in "Status 2"  (expect where status 1 has the value of "Inactive")

NB : 

Status 1 - Can have a single value, or multiple values
Status 2  - Will always have a single value of "Ops


Desired output 

Status 1 

Status 2
 Status 3

Inactive

Ops
Ops

Digital 

Ops
Digital;Ops

Digital;Sales;

Ops
Digital;Sales;Opps

Client;Digital;Sales 

Ops
Client;Digital;Sales;Ops

 

The way i have tacked it is as follows ;


Formula 1  : IF [status 1] = "Inactive" THEN "Ops" else [status 1 ] ENDIF

Filter : Filtering out those records that have status 1 = Ops
Formula 2  [status 1 ]+ ";" +[status 2]

Use a Formula tool to create the new field Status 3:

 

IF [Status 1] = "Inactive" THEN [Status 2]

ELSE [Status 1] + ";" + [Status 2]

ENDIF
