No "Thank you"? 😂

Can you provide the sample data in text format and elaborate what will be specific order?

Hi Raj, can you see the attached file that shows what it currently looks like and what order I need it?  Any help you can give would be appreciated.

Hi @ysalgado 

 

Here's my approach:

 

  • Connect your accounts in desired order to the 'F' input of a Find Replace tool
  • Connect your data that contains the amounts to the 'R' input of the same Find Replace tool
  • Configure the Find Replace tool to find the entire matched case-insensitive whole word, and then;
  • Select fields from the data to append to your list of custom sorted accounts.

The Find Replace tool actually appends!

@ysalgado take a look at the select record tool, that might help if you want to manually select rows
