Mapping issue - only populate Manager that is from that Department

Hi,

I'm wondering how to only get the name of a person who is part of a department in a module that has department as one if the dimensions.

SYSTEM Module for Users:

Dimensions: Users

Line Item: Departments (List-format with department which is populated based on a formula using the lookup function).

Module Mapping:

Dimensions: Users, Department

Line Item: Manager in Department (List-formatted with Manager list)

So I only want the line item in the mapping module to populate a manager if he is part of that department, else blank.

Best regards,

Johan

Hi @johan.marketoft

I think this formula will answer your inquire:

If System module.Department = item(Department) then Retrieve the System department.Manager (I do not know where this is, probably in a system module for departments) else blank.

Here you have an example of the formula mentioned above:

I hope it helps.
