Where is Conditional Split ??

[mkpansare]

Hi all
am new to forum and pentaho ...

I have used SSIS previously, in SSIS there is a step called Conditional Split which lets me include many conditions in the flow and divide the output according to the conditions.

For example lets say there is a column with english and spanish names in it.
now if I add condition like name == "english" then i will get only english names. I can add as many conditions I want.

In pentaho I observed that there is a step called Filter Rows. Although it is similar in a way but I can get only 2 outputs. So lets say I want to divide a column in 5 different cases I cant do it. So is there a step to do it in Pentaho or do I have to use 5 different steps for 5 cases??

"Switch/Case" perhaps?

Hi Matt.
Since I've made the same question not so long ago because I could not find the "Switch/Case" step, would you consider merging the "Filter Row" and the "Switch case" together?
Maybe having 2 tabs, one for 2 way split, the other for multiple splits?

Or maybe you could change "Switch/Case" to "Multiple Filters Rows"? :-)

Thanks.
Mick

Adding a more appropriate description for Switch/Case would probably would be enough to allow it to get shown when you use the quick search field.
So absolutely, just file a feature request in JIRA.
