hi i dont want to create formula tool and select tool to manually create the formulas and re-name the header in different year. becoz the formula need to be looking at the headers and i have to re-update the formula and select tool to change to the correct header sequence. The ideal solution would be get the variance before the cross tab.

It turns out to be a lengthy one. 😁

hiii master Qiu,

 

thanks for your workflow. i didn't use your workflow but your concept did inspire me alot. in the end, i use the GL and period to append to a master list and join back to the raw data, the transactions are failed to join, i will set the amount to 0 and union back to the raw data. so my raw data has all the period. after that i will use a multi row tool to compute the variance. i am not sure if you are able to visualize the flow.
