Creating additional field that identifies Flats & Apartments

JamesDB

Hi There,

 

I'm relatively new to Alteryx and I'm looking to create a new field within my data that flags records where flat, apartment or variants of are within the address fields.

 

In MS Access I would run the query as shown in the screenshot attached.Flat query.PNG

 

How would I go about doing this please?

 

Many thanks in advance.

Hi @JamesDB 

 

One method would be to use a Contains([YourField], "Flat") function in a formula, e.g.:

IF Contains([YourField], "FLAT")  then "Flat"

elseif Contains([YourField], "APARTMENT") etc...

 

Let me know if you want an example
