Date Time Add using the row above

G_SAND
8 - Asteroid

Hi All

 

I have used the Alteryx help section on Date Time to understand how to add months to a date but am having difficulty applying it.

Here is my data set:

Tile SeqMatTileDateTotalRight_Date Right_Date

1

ABC122018-01-01

2018-03-01 2018-03-01

1ABC122018-03-0182018-03-01 2018-05-01
1ABC122018-04-01102018-03-01 2018-06-01
2DEF222018-01-0112018-02-01 2018-02-01
2DEF222018-02-0122018-02-01 2018-03-01
2DEF222018-03-0142018-02-01 2018-04-01
2DEF222018-04-0182018-02-01 2018-05-01

 

The first 'Right_Date' column is what I already have, and the second is what I want to achieve.

 

Based on either the change in Tile Seq N# or MAT number I want to add a month from the first date in the right date column and continue down until we reach the next Tile Seq or MAT number.

 

Another one that I am sure is easy but I just can't get to function.

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

Multi-Row formula is your friend here:

Thanks @LordNeilLord

 

It was the 'IsNull' bit that I was missing - I'm sure I'll learn one day!

I thought I would at least give this one a go myself but I can seem to get it working.

 

Now I have the date  part right, I now want to bring in the corresponding total for that specific date

I can't use an If Row+X:Date as it can vary between materials.

 

Another easy one I'm sure

Hi,

 

Use the summarize tool to sum the value against each date (grouped by Tile Seq & Mat) then join the streams back together.
