I a beginner/Intermediate user to Alteryx.  have a set of data where I need to create a new column "country" based on data in the next row below where the next row below contains the value 'country". The row below is not always Row+1.  Attached is a sample input and desired output.  I think a combination of Transpose/CrossTab/Multi-row formula can do this, but I am not sure how to write it.  Thanks
