How do I write the Expression in the Formula Tool to fix records that have data in Address Line 2, but not in Address Line 1?

IF NULL, I would like to move the data FROM Address Line 2 TO Address Line 1 and null out Address Line 2

 

Thanks for your help!

Hi Missy,

 

If I understand your request correctly you need to do 2 things:

 

 

 

 

  Pseudo code Alteryx
Address Line 1

if Address Line 1 is empty then                                         => by empty we mean NULL or empty string ("")

   Address Line 1 = Address Line 2

else

   Address Line 1 should remain untouched

IF IsEmpty([Address Line 1]) then
   [Address Line 2]
else
   [Address Line 1]
endif
Address Line 2

if Address Line 1 equals to Address Line 2 then

   Address Line 2 should be empty

else

   Address Line 2 should remain untouched

if [Address Line 1]==[Address Line 2] then
   ""
else
   [Address Line 2]
endif
