How to replicate Excel formula in Alteryx, issue needing value not yet calculated to calc

BAvitia23

Greetings

 

The ask is to replicate the logic in this excel table in Alteryx. The way I have the workflow I'm running into errors because the field does not yet exist, 

 

The field that I'm having trouble replicating is Lbr Assoc WIP formula "Payroll+CO" - "Lbr Assoc Inv" 

the calculation for these two fields 

"Payroll+CO"= "Payroll Labor Mo"- "Lbr Assoc WIP" from previous month (achieved with multirow formula)

 "Lbr Assoc WIP"=[Payroll+CO]-[Lbr Assoc Inv]

 

The issue that I'm running to is that in order to get the "Payroll+CO" need to have the "Lbr Assoc WIP" from previous month and in order to get "Lbr Assoc WIP" I need to have "Payroll+CO"

 

In excel they are easily formulated "Payroll+CO"=F3+I2  &  "Lbr Assoc WIP"=G3-H3

Attached is a screenshot of my failed attempt and how I was attempting to accomplish this. 

 

Month Year             Invoiced Mo         WIP % com        Inv Built in Mo    Payroll Labor Mo      Payroll+CO    Lbr Assoc Inv  Lbr Assoc WIP
22-12                                                   $17,952                                                                                                                        $1,467
23-01                       $68,238               $17,952              $68,238             $6,844                      $8,311            $6,580             $1,731
23-02                       $62,604               $17,952              $62,604             $4,686                      $6,417            $4,987             $1,430

Any recommendations or ways of doing this would be greatly appreciated. I know it has to be doable I'm just no seeing how.

@BAvitia23 
It will be much better if you can provide a sample data in Excel with the formulas. 😁
