Creating two columns that use eachother

HunterH

Hi All. Hoping someone can help me here. I used the summary tool to create the total incoming and total closed columns. The total leftover column is calculated as [row-1:Total Accumulation] - [Total Close] ex. for month 3 total leftover = 44-20 = 24.

 

The problem I am having is that Total Accumulation = [Total Leftover] + [row+1:Total Incoming] ex. for month 3 Total Accumulation = 24+18 = 42

 

Excel is great at auto updating columns so that I can calculate these two columns simultaneously, but I am having a hard time figuring it out in Alteryx. Any help appreciated.

I used a mix of formula and multi-row formulas.

This worked well, thank you. I didnt realize that when using the multi row formula tool, you could reference the new column you are creating in the expression section.
