Hi All, I am trying to solve one scenario and seeking help...

 

I have a data set like below, 

 

NameValue
2017101
2017112
2017123
2018014
2018025
2018036

 

Output that I am looking for is below, a new column is required which sets 201710 as 201710_Y1_M1, 201711_Y2_M2 (2017 is a special case as my product launched in this year in month 10 so I want to call it as Y1_M1. Rest will go from M1 to M12 each year

Hi @ankitgupta 

 

Using Tile Tool you have a simple solution:

- Use Formula Tool to get the year

- Use Tile Tool to get a sequenced order

- Use Formula Tool again to set up your field

 

WF attached.
