Merging 2 columns while keeping some values from each of the columns.

[Anonymous]

Hi guys, thank you for taking the time to read this and helping out.

I'm having some trouble with merging the two columns together.

The attached image is of the columns in question, "gdp" and "2014 GDP, IMF.GDP"

I would like to merge the 2 columns together, keeping the the existing "gdp" value except for the 0 values, replacing the 0 values with the corresponding "2014 GDP, IMF.GDP" value.

May I know how would I go about doing that?

Thank you in advance!

You could add a custom column , something like

if [gdp] > 0 then [gdp] else [2014 gdp.........]

Hi @Anonymous 

You can just add a conditonal column:
1. In Add column Tab find Coditional Column and follow the steps below.
replace Start date = "gdp" and End Date = "2014 GDP, IMF.GDP"

2. Remove , "gdp" and "2014 GDP, IMF.GDP" column
