Multi-Row Formula Expression

I'm struggling to create an expression.

 

Using a multi-Row formula tool the desired result I am looking for is to create new field : DayCount 

 

When SettleDate row match then the day count should be 1 then the next pair 2 then the next pair 3 etc. 

 

Thank you for your time and help

Hi @MarkPitcock 

 

Here's two ways to do this:

 

  1. Multi-row formula:
    1. The below formula will do the check. I set the value of rows that don't exist as null in the configurations. The first record will be set to 1 based on that, then the rest does the logic you describe.

 

 

if isnull([Row-1:DayCount]) then 1
elseif [Day]=[Row-1:Day] then [Row-1:DayCount]
else [Row-1:DayCount]+1
endif

 

 

.2. Summarize data (or remove dupes), add a record ID, and join back to the original data set.
