Hi @nkrupabd ,

 

if I got you right, you need an additional column [Type], that has to be calculated depending on the [Overtime] column (if [Overtime] > 0 -> hours, else days).
Then you have to aggregate by Employee and Type, but aggregation seems to be only applied to overtime, not to day shift.

I've created a sample workflow, let me know if it works as expected.

 

Best,

Thank you for the response, i just gave an example there are many such conditions which need to be applied and have to be used as each row for each condition in the same column.

IN the example i mentioned the column is TYPE and need rows of the column with days and hours , for same employee there need to be different rows depending on the condition.

That would lead to a more complex condition (or nested conditions), but it should be no problem using a formula. Could you provide more details or sample data?

This actually looks like a simple job for the Transpose tool.

I wasn't sure what your default values should be for days/nights so I've used a sum, but you can change that in the Summarize tool.
