Hi all,

I am relatively new to using Alteryx and I am attempting to write a formula where if either/both column A and B contains 'Exceeds' then I require a 'Yes' otherwise I need the formula to show as 'No'.

Any assistance is greatly appreciate!

Many thanks,

Hannah

Hello @HannahSwain ,

 

The formula would be like this

 

IF [A] = "Exceeds" OR [B] = "Exceeds" THEN "YES" ELSE "NO" ENDIF

 

P.d: Welcome to the community :)

 

Cheers!

Look at the attached workflow.

I created 2 formulas. One is a Boolean (True/False) the other is a string that returns Yes/No. It uses contains (vs. perfect equal sign) and it takes into account that the case could be different.

 

Match Boolean:

Contains(LowerCase([A]),"exceeds") OR Contains(LowerCase([B]),"exceeds")

 

Match Yes/No:

IF Contains(LowerCase([A]),"exceeds") OR Contains(LowerCase([B]),"exceeds") then "Yes"
ELSE "No"
ENDIF

Hello,  I'm hoping you can assist me as well.

 

I am trying to come up with a formula which basically says:

 

If Item description contains brochure and State does not equal GA then change Value to 0.00 otherwise leave it alone

 

Any assistance is appreciated 🙂
