SR

HI All,

 

I have a data set where i am trying to update particular values thats missing manager name as per those values in the same column that include a manager name.

 

Level 2Level 3
SALES (ROB)SALES 1 (BOB)
SALESSALES 1
FINANCE (John)ACCOUNTING (CARL)
FINANCEACCOUNTING

 

In the above table, i want to update the values "SALES" to "SALES (ROB)" or FINANCE to FINANCE (John)  . How do i do this.  I tried splitting the columns but i am unable to get the manager name associated to the rows where the entry is missing.

 

Thanks

SR

Hey @SR! Try using the attached workflow. The key was to use a Filter then a Formula and the Find and Replace tool. You could also replicate this if you wanted to perform the same actions to the Level 3 field. Does this work for your purposes?
