How to Update Multiple Fields to Divide Two Rows

Hi Alteryx Experts!

Does anyone know how I can divide two rows of data to calculate a metric? I have attached a file where I have a title in the "Line Item" column for "Result," but I want to update all the values below each of the months so that I divide the numerator row by the denominator row. Any ideas would be super helpful and appreciated!

Sure there is actually multiple ways to do this. Here are just two quick and dirty methods

Hello @dishamishra

@patrick_digan made this awesome tool called the Multi -Row -Field -Column Formula. Basically it acts as a combination of the Multi-Row tool and the Multi-Field tool. It is helpful here because you want to perform the same calculation that uses multiple rows in multiple fields.

Thank you Joseph! The logic for your workflow makes perfect sense to me, but when I get to the "Multi-Row Formula" step, my "Results" column returns null values throughout. I followed the same configurations you used in your mock up. Any reason for why this might happen (nulls)?

Thanks for your quick response! I'm trying out some of the other methods listed here too to see which works best!

This is very cool - thanks for sharing! I'm fairly new to Alteryx, but are these developed tools usually available for everyone to use? Or are they beta version ?

Thank you for your solution! This one worked perfectly. I also added a ROUND function in the row formula, as Joseph suggested above and I got exactly what I wanted. Thank you!!
