Compare Old and Enriched Work Emails in Your Spreadsheet

Sabrina I. · 2025-07-31 10:12:05.783103+00

In my working sheet, I have a column showing old work emails, and I want to compare the enrichment result of work emails compared to the old work email column, to see if the enrichment result truly produced updated work emails. Assuming: • `A2:A` contains the *Old Work Email*. • `B2:B` contains the *Enriched Work Email*. I would usually use the formula in google sheet =IF(AND(B2<>"", B2<>A2), "Updated", IF(B2=A2, "Same", "Updated")) to label in a new column whether the emails are updated or the same. How do I do this in clay?

In Clay, add a new column and select Formula. In the AI Formula Generator, describe your logic: "Compare old work email column with enriched work email column. If enriched email is not empty and different from old email, return 'Updated'. If they're the same, return 'Same'. Otherwise return 'Updated'." Use "/" to reference your columns. Clay supports comparison operators like != (not equal) and == (equal) plus logical operators like AND for complex conditions. Click Generate Formula, review the output, then Save Formula.
