Hello @AltExplore,

 

If you took directly my formulas it could be happending that the results were given as int values instead of double.

 

Try it with this workflow now.

I not only have columns A & B but other columns that need to be part of the final result.

 

These columns are a mix of dimensions and measures.

 

Please advise.

Hello @AltExplore,

 

I edited it and now it does a multiplication of all rows and divides it by the last one.

 

If you need anything else I would need a better clarification as with having only the other formula I cannot do much more)

 

Also the workflow you shared doesn't have any data. If you want me to work with your files please attach the data too.
