Help needed with Multi Row Formula

Gandalf_NotGrey

Hello Everyone,

I am using the Multi Row formula to find out time periods between different steps of a task. I have attached the workflow on which I am working.

A subset of data is attached in the image. Entire data is in the workflow.

In the image you can see, there are multiple instances of each task with time stamps.

I used a Multi Row Formula to create the third column "New Field". The first instance of the task is marked as Task Begins and the Last Instance is marked as Task Ends. I am struggling with the instances in between these two.

How can I create a loop which will mark each subsequent step as Step 2, Step 3, Step 4 and so on??

After this I need create another field where I will have the time difference between Step 2 and the first step, Step 3 and first step, Step 4 and first step, last Step and First step...

Is this also possible through Multi Row formula?

Thank You for your help.

Could you do something using the sort then the normal formula tool?
1. Sort by task and time ascending.

2. Add a running count of ID that resets on change of task ID
3. if running count =1 then Step 1 else if running count =2 then step 2, etc

 

Cheers
