Filed update on Summarize tool

Hello, 

is there any way that Summarize tool can be update based on filed available because items can be more or less Quarter over Quarter. For example in Q1 i might have 4 items to sum and then in Q2 i might have more or less items to Sum. So when i build my workflow in Q1 i have 4 items to sum but when in Q2 there are only 2 items to sum so i get error message that third and fourth items are missing. is there any way i can summarize only what are available based on quarter data rather than manually adding missing items into source file. 

 

Data from Q1
Data from Trasnpose Tool   
Field Type 
Red V_String 
0000Double 
0123Double 
0908Double 
0055Double 
TotalDouble 
   
Data in Formula tool  
Field Action Output Field Name
GLCF_Prod_CodeGroup ByRed
0000Double0000
0123Double0123
0908Double0908
0055Double0055

 

 

Data from Q2
Data from Trasnpose Tool   
Field Type 
Red V_String 
0000Double 
0123Double 
TotalDouble 
   
Data in Formula tool  
Field Action Output Field Name
GLCF_Prod_CodeGroup ByRed
0000Sum0000
0123Sum0123

 

in this example above i get error message in Q2  because items 0908 & 0055 have no data in Q2

Could you export your workflow and post it? I am thinking you could use a batch macro and the option to update raw XML with Formula to dynamically change the fields that are summarized.
