I need to combine all the fields in common used in Join Multiple so that it will look like the one indicated as the Desired Result below.  What is the best way to go about this?  I would appreciate your help!

Hi @masakazuenami 

 

Since I do not know if you will have "Input Entity" columns than that shown in your sample dataset. I have created a more dynamic approach which will accept any number of "Input Entity" columns. 

 

So, basically what the workflow does is:

 

1. Select on the fields with name ending with "Entity"

2. Transpose the columns

3. Filter out all the Nulls

4. Group by each record and Entity value

5.. Join the data back to the original dataset

Hope this helps.

Hi @grazitti_sapna 

This works perfectly.  I was not aware and have never used Dynamic Select Tool before.  Looks very useful.  Thank you!
