Hello FME Community,

 

First time posting here! Hope to explain my problem better with screenshots of my current situation and what I hope to achieve.

fme_start

I have 3 empty columns I like to them to be filled with values from Status_Percentage.sum based on the feature's status (e.g. Built, Intended, Interim).

 

The result should look like this:

excel_screenshot3

The image shows values from Status_Percentage.sum filled to each empty columns based on the feature's status.

 

I've looked into AttributeManager and conditional values but not getting what I want. I've been advised to look at VariableSetter and VariableRetriever but am not familiar with the transformers.

 

Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance.

I created your mock data to test how that could be done in a simpler and uncomplicated way

simply use the FeatureMerger with the Join on parameter set to: 1-1FME_populate_attributes

Is this Excel data? There was a recent webinar on handling Excel data, check it out (Go to the Knowledge Base) if you haven't already. You might find a solution there.

Thanks for looking into this! This solved my problem! I was looking at using FeatureMerger but couldn't figure it out until now by using AttributeFilters and enabling "Process Duplicate Suppliers". 😀
