Hi,

 

 

I am trying to do a really basic function.

 

 

I have a CAD file which i add an attribute to and populate with the fme_basename.

 

I then have an EXCEL that contains the fme_basename and also another field called 'DESCRIPTOR'

 

 

basically what i want to do it a test where FME says If the fme_basename = the Basename from excel then populate new field with the value from descriptor. I have used an attribute creator with a conditional value but does not seem to work?

Hi,

 

 

The FeatureMerger or the Joiner might help you, if your requirement is to add a descriptor to a CAD feature when its fme_basename matches the basename which is associated with the descriptor in the Excel table.

Why not inspect features with Visual/Data Preview and Feature/Record Information before writing them into a destination dataset?
