This can be done using an iterative macro. 

 

I have attached a workflow package containing a macro I built which will give leveling information based on the input format you provided.

 

Essentially we needed to create something that loops through the data row by row and matches the Field 2 of the Row -1 with the Field 1 of the current row. 

 

Below is a screenshot of the internals of my macro.

Hi

 

A suggestion without using macro is based on this example that you passed

Follows attached workflow

Hi @benakesh 

 

Is the macro appearing as a question mark box?

 

I have attached the  macro separately now so this should work. Let me know if not. 

 

Also, if you map your macro folder they can appear in your tool palette.

 

There will be a tool category called macros that will contain all .yxmc macro files you save to that file location.
