I want to calculate difference in a dataset

[Sshasnk]

I have a dataset where I finding very to difficult to calculate rows

Example:

Fund	amount	prior year amount	type
ABC	123	145	Investment
ABC	145	156	Total
LMN	1456	15	Investment
LMN	159	23	Total
XYZ	456	56	Investment
XYZ	23	14	Total

In About all, I have to find a difference in investment and total (Type column)

Fund	amount	prior year amount	type
ABC	123	145	Investment
ABC	145	156	Total
ABC	-22	-11	Difference
LMN	1456	15	Investment
LMN	159	23	Total
LMN	1297	-8	Difference
XYZ	456	56	Investment
XYZ	23	14	Total
XYZ	433	42	Difference

I am not sure if it will be easy to transpose and do it or it should be done easily in row formula

Hi @Sshasnk 

It can be easily achieved with the help of Summarize tool.

Then join the source and Summarize tool to get your output.

Hi @Sshasnk 

Here is a way of doing it:

Firstly calculate the differences using two Multi-Row Formula tools, then filter out unwanted fields. Rename the calculated fields and create the "Difference" type field, then union back together and finally sort in order.

My workflow explanation in detail, 

Step 1: Input the data

Step 2: Ignore my select tool, as I used to modify the datatype from Byte to Int

Use the Multi Field Formula.

Step 3: One more Multi Field formula

Step 4: Summarize tool
