Beast Mode Calculation for Specific Email Domain

in Magic ETL

I have a column called Owned by Email and I want to create a calculated field that displays "Yes" if the email address is @mydomain. Two part question, would that be accomplished better with a dataflow or would a Beast Mode shared on the dataset work as well?  To clarify, there are half a million rows of data in the dataset.

 

Thanks in advance

Michael

    You could do this pretty easily in a beast mode with like this:

    CASE WHEN `emailaddress` LIKE '%@mydomain%' THEN 'Yes'
ELSE 'No' 
END

    If you have Magic ETL 2.0, then you can use the formula tile and include this in there and that would work well. If you think you might need to edit this formula often, making it a beast mode might make more sense as people find that more accessible.

    As a minor tweak I'd recommend not including the wildcard at the end as it might cause incorrect matching. For example if your domain was "google.co" it would also capture "google.com".

     

    CASE WHEN `emailaddress` LIKE '%@mydomain' THEN 'Yes'
ELSE 'No' 
END
