Arcane

Hi Folks,

 

What is the available formula function for the keyword 'FILTER' in Microsoft Excel.

With that, I am looking to convert the below formula for Alteryx executable formula.

 

=if(
and(
left
(Sheet1[Description],15)="Expenditure"),
calculate(
sum(Sheet1[Totals]),
FILTER(Sheet1,
Sheet1[ExpenditureType]=EARLIER(Sheet1[ExpenditureType])
),0
)

 

Thanks in advance :)

@Arcane Not sure this formula can be done using only the formula tool, but I think you need more tool like summarize, filter etc to achieve the result in Alteryx
