Data Manipulation

Hello,

 

Please refer the example below. I need to fix data sample table to Expected result table.

 

This is what I want  CHECKMRY = Month and year of CHECKDATE except if Cycle = 500 (last 3 digits of location, example: if location is 0000000006700100, then the cycle is 100.  0000000006700500, then cycle is 500) then the CHECKMRY will be the previous Month and year.  If an account is a 500 cycle, then if the CHECKDATE is 02-04-19 then the CHECKMRY is 1901.   If the CHECKDATE = 01-14-19 then the CHECKMRY is 1812.

 

CHECKDATE  format is YYMMDD and I want to be YYMM  

 

Any help I will appreciate!

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

My formulas might be messy but I hope I answered your question. I just parsed the year and month from the CHECKDATE, then defined a "Month v2" and "Year v2" which applies the logic of having the CYCLE = 500 where the previous monthyear will be returned. See below formulas.

Note that rows 3 to 5 do not have a cycle = 500 so their month-year have been retained.

Attached is the workflow I created. Hope this helps.
