Reformatting text in Data Table

Help
1

Hi Guys,

I’m looking for a way to reformat 2 columns in my data table. One is province, the other is country. My logic so far is a for each row activity with an if statement that will iterate through the specific columns to check for the format rule.

the rule I’m trying to create is,
IF Country = “Canada” then write CAN
IF Province = “Manitoba” then write MB
IF Province = “Quebec” or QC then write PQ
IF Province = “Newfoundland” or NF then write NL

beginning: for each activity of the data table

example: decision tree iteration for country

sorry for the pseudo code, my syntax for uipath isn’t the best.

Thanks,

Hi,

You can utilize switch activity. Please refer the below example.

Expression: strArray.FirstOrDefault(Function(s) url.Contains(s))
StrArray: Patterns to be found are given in the string array.
Cases: For each pattern, necessary activities need to be given
Switch Case type must be string.(found in the properties pane)

Hope it will be useful for you.

Hi,

First all the values need to be stored in a string array of province values. e.g “manitoba”, “quebec”.
Take a switch activity and give the expression as
strArray.FirstorDefault(Function(s) province.contains(s))
Then write the cases,
manitoba
Write Line - MB
quebec etc
Write Line - PQ

Hope it helps to understand better.
