Replacing specific cells

Hi.

Please see table below. I want to move the information for parts c and d from Field 2 to Field 1, replacing the existing information.

 

 From   To 
       
PartField 1Field 2 PartField 1Field 2
agnull agnull
bhnull bhnull
ciX cXx
djX dXx
eknull eknull
flnull flnull

 

Field 2 is then no longer required. I'm sure its simple!!

 

Thanks

Find attached a workbook with two examples.

 

1 - Replace the value of the field1 with field2 if part=c or part=d

 

2 -Replace the value of the field1 with field2 if field2=null

Thanks, the second option looks like the one for me but I can't get it to work. The 'null' is a null that Alteryx has entered so appears as [Null] in a grey font.

How can I get the formula to 'equal' this null value?

I tried replacing the [Null] with zeros but again I couldn't get the formula to = 0.

Can you help?

Sorry if this is confusing.

Try it now. I did put a text "null" instead of an empty field.

I have a similar problem: 

 

Source table

ID           Field 1                  Field 2                  Field 3

1234      0.25                      0.47                      0.78      

1235      0.36                      0.29                      1.29

1236      1.29                      1.68                      1.47

 

I want to correct my source table with an adjustment table (below) that contains the correct values for the fields in the table above.

 

Adjustment  table

ID           Field 1                  Field 2                  Field 3

1234      1.25                      2.47                      0.99      

1235      3.36                      2.29                      2.89

1236      1.29                      1.68                      1.47

 

I want to do this for over 80,000 rows.

Any thoughts, will be appreciated.
