Formula tool with multiple expressions validating multiple columns

EricMartinson

Hello,

 

I am comparing data from two versions of the same report to identify the differences so I know which records have columns that need to be corrected. I am using a Formula tool with eight expressions to validate four sets of data and arrange the output messages. This solution works but I have two questions.

 

  1. Is there a more efficient way I could have done this?
  2. This formula tool is only validating January data but I need to do the same for all other months. Is there a way to dynamically run for all the other months without recreating this same formula tool for each specific month?

@EricMartinson 

hi,

you can transpose the data and then compare a single column - i think it is quicker (my solution attached).
