Replace values by conditional match

dedeer

Hi all,

I searched the community and couldn't find the answer. Maybe it was solved before but I need it urgently. So appreciate if you answer again. 


I am working on a very messy dataset. As you look above, models L200, L 200, MITSUBISHI L200 etc. (I mean all of them) are the same model of a brand. I would like to replace any value that has "200" with "L200". 

ex  value  - --------------------- -new value
MITSUBISHI L 200              -L200
L 200                                    -L200
L200 4x4                              -L200
so on. 

is there any easy way of doing it?

Hey @dedeer ,

You can use Generate attributes to create a cleaned attribute as following. If it just few cases that you want to clean.

if(contains(model,"200"),"L200",model)

Also, you can explore regex with Replace operator for a more generalized solution.
