Entering Subtotal lines in existing data

Hi all,

 

I have read a number of postings, but can't find this exact scenario or I am simply too thick to recognize it!  I'm a newbie so go easy on me, but something that I feel should be easy  I just can't do... I'm going to the experts. 

 

I am trying to automate a report for one of my account managers, who creates this report for their client.  I am trying to get the output as close to his format as it is today... can certainly be flexible.  

 

May data looks like this:

 

Account NumberNameDateIncome

12345

Jennings01/15/2020-41,554.91
12345Jennings03/19/2020-43,490.78
34567Walker01/15/2020-562.64
34567Walker03/19/2020-501.89
98765Adams01/15/2020-5,211.59
98765Adams02/13/2020-19,373.03

 

I need my output to look like this:

 

Account NumberAccount NameEntry DateIncome
12345Jennings01/15/2020-41,554.91
12345Jennings02/13/2020-153,591.66

I appreciate the help!!

From my iPhone I have a suggestion for you @andrewplaice :

 

put a record I'd in the incoming data


SUMMARIZE:

Group by Account Number

Sum Income


SELECT:

 make sure account number is vstring 

 

FORMULA: [Account Number] 


[Account Number] + " Total"

 

UNION:

original data + data from this new process

 

SORT:

account number + recordid

 

select to remove recordID 

 

cheers,

Hi @andrewplaice I mocked up a workflow let me know what you think?

Wow.  You built that faster than I was able to decipher what you did!  It is exactly what I need.  Thank you.  

 

For my own learning, can help me understand what this formula is saying?

 

tonumber(Replace([Income], ",", ""))

Hi @andrewplaice that formula is replacing the , in your income with nothing as alteyrx is reading your income field as a string due , being present and then converting to a numeric field in order to be used in the summarize tool to sum up the income for the total.
