Assuming all the information is held within the same message, you could do it with a switch node followed by a switch node. Or by using a function node with a javascript if this AND that type statement (google for the correct syntax)

If the information isn’t within the same message you need to get it there, you could use a join node, or store the data in memory. This has come up a lot in the past couple of days. There’s and example here [Output two attributes in the template](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/output-two-attributes-in-the-template/5983/6)  
and you can read the docs within the working with function part of the documentation
