Hi, could you please post some sample data, if it's in line 8 of your excel file, I would do an alteryx formula like this one:

 

if [Code] = 6001 then then [Amount]/2

elseif [Code] = 6009 then then [Amount]/2

...

else [Amount] endif

 

or a formula like this one

if [Code] in ('6001', '6009'...) then [Amount]/2

else [Amount] endif

I TRIED with below function, 

 

IF [TAX CODE] in (6001, 6009,6010,6022) then [Final Amount ]/2

else [Final Amount ] endif 

 

but its shows  error "tried to apply numeric operator to string value"

To use in I think you have to use " or ' and the tax code must be in a string format (use a select tool before your formula to do so).
