Creating New column

Sarath27
8 - Asteroid

Hi All,

 

I need a help in this situation.

 

 

I have three distinctive level values 1,2 & 3. For each run, any of these level values might not come. I have a formula which sums Level 1 + Level 2 + Level 3.

 

So in my case, Level 3 is not coming for this run, so formula tool throws an error as Level 3 is missing.  I want to write a dynamic formula where if any Level 1, 2, 3 is missing then it needs to create a new column and populate null values in that column. It seems to be really complex.

 

Pls kindly help.

Hi, @Sarath27 

 

2 ways of dynamic solution for you:

 

A- If field not exist, it still can normal calculation to get result, but don't add new columns for miss.

B- It create all form to calculate for all field to union at first, then flow your formula to get output.
