    Hi jtao7387 ,

     

    My workaround works but is not easy enough.

    Here're the steps.

    First separate the two tables based on the source name and merge.

     

    Expand the column needed.

     

    Then add two conditional columns to substitue.

    Remove the columns unneeded and rename the conditional columns.

     

     

    Best Regards,

    Stephen Tao
