Eliminate phrase where in other list

Hello,

 

Bit of an Alteryx noob so hopefully this is an easy one (in fact so easy I couldn't find anyone on here asking the same question?).

 

How do I clear values in an address list when found in another list? See attached file.

 

eg. here's the address list:

clipboard_image_0.png

 

And here's the 'removals' list:

clipboard_image_1.png

 

And I need this output:

clipboard_image_2.png

 

Now, I know I can do this using IF statement etc but I figured there must be a cleaner way? Makes sense to keep a separate list of phrases to remove.

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi @CDunhill 

 

The Find Replace tool is your friend here.  Just add a ReplaceWith field with empty strings "" in your Remove list and configure it to match the entire field

Aha! Told you it would be easy.

 

I did try Find/Replace yesterday but couldn't configure it to do this.

 

Thank you!
