Truncated Name

Can someone help me with these problem?

 

In the data sets some of the distributor names were truncated. Use the provided lookup table (Distributor.xlsx) to replace the truncated name with the more complete name provided.

 

First need to bring in all the Gross Revenue data sets and clean them. Then, I don't know how to replace the truncated name.

Hi @Dinie_Hazim 

 

I assume the words with three dots means truncated.

Insert the record id tool.

Use filter tool to filter the records with ... dots.

Then use Find and replace tool to replace the words.

Then join back with the Record Id tool 

 

Many thanks

Hi @Dinie_Hazim 

 

I tried to link all the 4 input files and see the each files had different schema, 

 

Found these 2 columns in extra, you could use the select tool to make the output what is required based on your requirement.

This time I have used the shortcut, where I have used the Search to find the result from sample directly.
