Dynamic Filter

Hi,

in my use-case I have 2 text-inputs - one contains the data and the other one the conditions:
- Input 1 contains the columns Level1, Level2, Level3 and the data.
- Input 2 contains the 2 columns Level-Identifier and Level-Condition.
If e.g. I find as Level_Identifier a 2 then I would like to filter for [Level2] = [Level-Condition].

I think I need a Dynamic Select but I don't know how to create it.
Attached a simple workflow.

Thanks

Hi @rowada,

 

Thanks for your question! I'm not sure I understand your use case exactly, but I've extended your workflow to do the selection based off of what I understood from your use case.

Here, I've attached an example workflow which uses the dynamic replace to do a conditional join - this might also be used for your use case. 

 

If neither of these workflows are what you need, can you give me a bit more information about your use case, specifically what you'd like the output to look like?

 

Hope you have a great day!

Thanks Amelia for the feedback.

It is not really what I was looking for but in my specific case the solution was quite easy - I am dealing with an app where the input comes from interface tools and I can place them directly into the filter-tool replacing the default values.

Hi @rowada,

 

Did you have any questions on how to create this app? Do you have any further questions?

 

Thanks,

Hello Amelia,

regarding that issue everything is clear and building the app was easy.

Thanks for the information.

I will for sure come back with further questions due to the fact that I started writing workflows and macros and apps.
