hi!
I have a field that I would like to add characters to at the beginning if they are missing. Please see simple example below, the two missing entries should also have "SI-" added to the beginning.
I would like to complete this using a Formula Tool.
Any help rendered truly appreciated.
State | ID |
MI | SI-1234 |
FL | 5678 |
CA | SI-2345 |
NM | SI-7890 |
OK | 8520 |
TX | SI-7412 |
MO | SI-6542 |
IL | SI-6548 |
WI | SI-9510 |

Hey @ZoeM, here's how I'd go about this, leveraging the StartsWith() function:
The exclamation mark is uses as NOT and so in this expression we're essentially saying: if the ID doesn't begin with SI then add 'SI-' to the ID number. The else tells Alteryx to leave the ID as is if it doesn't satisfy the if condition i.e. does begin with SI.
See if this fixes your problem.
While all solutions provided the same answer, I had to choose one :)
