Formula help needed

mrc

I have 4 columns of data. 3 columns are used for critieria and if met then they last column is updated in the data. I have 80 rows of data. I was entering them in the formula using the Elseif function and if the criteria was met, I added the unique answer based on that criteria. 

 

example:

ELSEIF [Legal Entity] = "ABC" and [State] = "Georgia" AND [Unique Identifier] = "1001123" THEN "123"

 

Do I have to enter a new formula for all 80 items? The Company and the result are both unique records.

 

Thanks!

Hi @mrc 

 

Yes, you can only have 1 action per lf or elseif line. Probably the best way to achieve what you want is to have your assignment data in a reference list and then use multiple criteria in a join tool to map the correct set of data to each condition. If you can attach your full data set with the conditions, I can show you want I mean.

This is what I have - 80 rows of data.  Sounds like this is they way I will need to do it. I am not sure what you are referring to but am interested if it will make it a more efficient way to update this data in my workflow.  Thank you!!

 

ELSEIF [Legal Entity] = "SMA" and [State] = "Georgia" AND [Unique Identifier] = "141194910" THEN "06000721"
ELSEIF [Legal Entity] = "SMA" and [State] = "Georgia" AND [Unique Identifier] = "140594832" THEN "030000600"
ELSEIF [Legal Entity] = "SMA" and [State] = "Georgia" AND [Unique Identifier] = "141190850" THEN "060000109"
ELSEIF [Legal Entity] = "SMA" and [State] = "Georgia" AND [Unique Identifier] = "141634892" THEN "082002700"
ELSEIF [Legal Entity] = "SMA" and [State] = "Georgia" AND [Unique Identifier] = "140270370" THEN "0140001000"
ELSEIF [Legal Entity] = "SMA" and [State] = "Georgia" AND [Unique Identifier] = "140274202" THEN "0140002900"

Thanks!! I get what you mean now. I will use the join tool and then the union tool to input the data back into the workflow.

thank you!!
