If Else condition

Hi Team,

This could look simpler, but somehow I am stuck to get the logic. Can some one please help here? 

Requirement

If any User has an ID as 'C' - then the Role would be 'Manager'. At same time the all Zones would be falling under Role = 'Manager'.

If the User does not have an ID as 'C' , then the Role would be 'Sales Rep'.

Sample Data-

UserIDZone
JohnANorth
JohnBSouth
JohnCEast
JohnDWest
MaryANorth
MaryBSouth
MaryDWest
BobANorth
BobCEast
RichCEast
LucyANorth
LucyBSouth

 

Expected Output - 

UserIDZoneRole
JohnANorthManager
JohnBSouthManager
JohnCEastManager
JohnDWestManager
MaryANorthSales Rep
MaryBSouthSales Rep
MaryDWestSales Rep
BobANorthManager
BobCEastManager
RichCEastManager
LucyANorthSales Rep
LucyBSouthSales Rep

 

Regards!

Hi,

try with something like this

Left Join
LOAD Distinct
User,
'Manager' as Role
Resident table
Where ID='C'
;

NoConcatenate
output:
LOAD
User,
ID,
Zone,
If(Len(Role)=0,'Sales Rep',Role) as Role
Resident table;

DROP Table table;

Hi @sunny_talwar ,

 

Thank you for the logic. This has helped in getting the desired results. 

Even if I select the Role = 'Manager', that doesnt filter out the Zone as East and shows all Zones.

 

Regards!

Hi @StarinieriG ,

 

Thank you for supporting. 

However, this again filters out the Zone values when Role is selected. 

If I select the Role = 'Manager', that filters out the Zone as East and other Zones are greyed out. The desired output has to show all Zones available for that User.

Is this a question or a statement?

"Even if I select the Role = 'Manager', that doesnt filter out the Zone as East and shows all Zones."

Hi @sunny_talwar ,

Sorry for the confusion.

That was the statement, and solution working as desired.

The requirement was NOT to filter out the East Zone only, rather show all 4 Zones , when Manageris selected. So its working proper.

Thanks again!
