Hi 

Im trying to generate new rows, if a cell value if not empty.

Fx.: 
Customer - Product - Service
Dennis        Parcel     Special handeling
Mona          Parcel     (null)/empty 

So 

If
!IsEmpty([Serivce]) THEN 
[product] = [service] 
Else (dont generate a row? 
ENDIF 


ive attached a simple workflow showing how im trying to solve it .. 

Tried this too : 
IIF(!IsNull([Service]), "Enviromental-Fee", [Product)

Hi @Hamder83,

 

could you give an example of what result you would like to have?

Hi 

Sure .-) 

Customer - Product - Service 1 - Service 2 - Service 3 
Dennis        Parcel     SMS           Letter         Oil fee 
Anna           Parcel     SMS  

For each customer i should generate 1 row for product - and one line for each service, with product having service text.

So for Dennis it would be:
Dennis - Parcel 
Dennis - SMS
Dennis - Letter
Dennis - Oil fee 

For Anna:
Anna - Parcel 
Anna - SMS 


But i should only generate a line if there is content in the service cell.

Ok, to do so, you can use a transpose tool which transforms multiple columns in 2 columns and then filter to exclude the null/empty values (find a solution attached!)

 

Hope it helped!

Hi @Hamder83,

 

I believe this is what you're trying to achieve?

Hi,

Try this, in multi field formula.Hope this will help dynamically for all fields in the data set (if required)

 

IF [_CurrentField_]="X" THEN "0" ELSE [_CurrentField_] ENDIF

 

For not dynamic use- field name in formula tool f(x) instead of [_CurrentField_]

 

Regards,

Subhajit

This looks very useful, but the multi-row formula tool says that _CurrentField_ is not a variable

They are referencing the multi-field formula tool which is different than the multi-row formula tool
