Dear community,

 

I would like to ask how do we build the formula that able to give us the output as below : The amount will deduct the balance for each until it fully utilise it. The remaining unutilised month will be zero.

We use a combination of Running Total and Multi-Row Formula tool as below.

It is a Tool that will calculate the cumulative summ for specified column.

Below is from the sample flow page.

Thank you for testing the flow.

Yes, for above case, since the "0" is not exsting, then [Balance] and [ RunTot_Quantity] for "0" row will be set to zero.

So instead of using "<" we should use "<=" instead.
