"If not equal then"

Question

Hi

I am fairly new to Alteryx and still figuring how to use a lot of the functions.

I have a dataset with several columns.

In column A I have country codes such as AT, FR, GB, BE etc and in column B I have a code for transport method.  At the moment all the transport code are 1 for all countries but I need all codes for countries other than GB to be 3. I have tried the below formula but instead of turning the 1's into 3's, it has turned them into zeroes. Could someone let me know what I have done wrong please? I have tried both MoT ans DestC as the Output column.

Thanks

Hello @BillyL14,

IF {Test} THEN {Value1} ELSE {Value2} ENDIF

You are passing a {Test} into the THEN, Alteryx will return 0 if the test is false and 1 if it's true. Simply insert "3" after the THEN.

Hi @BillyL14 if you remove [MoT]= in your formula it should work then.

Hi WL1,

You just need to remove "[MoT]=" from your formula.
What Alteryx is understanding at the moment is if DestC is not GB then test whether MoT equals 3 (which evaluates to false) and put that result here (thus the 0).

Hope it helps,

David
