how to apply formual for a particular cell in a column

Question

hi team, pls help me in sorting the below issue. I am trying to apply formula for a particular cell (in this eg: "a" should have output as 32 which is summation for 20+12). similarly for "b" and "e" too.

Input:

a b c20d30e f12

output:

a20+12b30+12c20d30e20-30f12

Is the incoming data always going be exactly 6 rows, with no headers, and exactly two columns; where the first column has values a,b,c,d,f; and the 2nd column has values blank, blank, 20, 30, blank, 12?

I'm guessing the data will change.  If you want to simply to from what you posted, you can use a Cross Tab tool and then a Formula tool and then a Transpose Tool.

Check out the Tool Mastery section of the community.  The tools I mention are under the "Transform" section:  https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Knowledge-Base/Tool-Mastery-Index/ta-p/84593

I'm not seeing any pattern here between your input and output.  What is the "rule" for going from your input to your output?
