Alteryx Multirow-formula not sufficient for date problem

Mahmoud_Turki

Hello,

 

Can someone please help me solve that cross-rows problem? 

  • I want to calculate at the current row the number of previous rows that had a production start date in "the last week = 7 last days" like in the screenshot attached
  • The rows are sorted in an ascending order according the production date.

I failed to figure that out with the existing formulas. I would be very thankful 

Best regards 

Mahmoud

Hi, 

thank you so much for sharing. This smart solution, based on the "append fields" tool, cannot work for my use case.

  • The attached file was just an example. I am working with big data about around 6000 orders with more than 940 unique "date" values.    
  • Therefore I got the error "Error: Append Fields (29): There were more than 16 records in the source."

I am looking forward to your answer. It would be hard to share the data because of the company privacy  

 

Best regards 

Mahmoud

Hi @Mahmoud_Turki 

 

Set the highlighted config of append tool as "Allow all append"
