Hello all, I'm trying to build an overall "Final" Column, I want this to basically look through every row, and if there is any "No Match"  in that row, then I want "No Match" To display in the "FINAL" Column, if all are "match", (or no match does not appear at all), I want "Match" to be output in the Final column for that row, any idea what tool I should use to approach this? Any tips at all would be appreciated not having much luck with formula.

Hi @dberroth,

 

This workflow should work.  I used a Dynamic Select tool so it can be scaled for additional Reason Code fields.  Using a Transpose tool with Summarize tools makes it easier to look at summarized data, then join the results back to the original data.  Let me know if you have questions.

Kindly check this is what you want.
It may be better to paste a text sample rather than snapshot, took me some time to prepare the sample data😁1020-dberroth.PNG

Thank you for your help! That is exactly what I'm needing, I'll be sure to start including sample data. One last question, would it be easy to add another text to look for in the below. 

 

For example if I want to look for both 'No Match' and 'No' to equal '1'? or do I need to create another tool step for this. 

 

 

Formula  you provided:

 

if contains([_CurrentField_],"No Match",1) then 1 else 0 endif

We can modify the formula to

 

if contains([_CurrentField_],"No Match",1) or contains([_CurrentField_],"No",1) then 1 else 0 endif

 

But I am sure it is really good to do so, since the checking "No" will supersede the checking for "No Match".
Anyway, updated workflow attached for your reference.
