Multi-Row Formula tool

[AjaySetty]

Is it possible to restrict Multi-Row Formula tool to work on specific rows and not on complete sheet?

I have few rows where I am removing duplicates but its impacting in other rows where I don't want to change.

hi @AjaySetty 

You can do this by writing the IF function with the multi-Row tool.

E.g

IF < qualified condition>

THEN <do what you want the multi row tool to do>

ELSE <keep the values to the current row value>

ENDIF

If you share the mock-up data, the community members can help you do a mock-up solution.

Thanks, here is a mock data and I want to zero/remove numbers from highlighted cells in sheet.

Not sure what conditions need to be applicable in order to 0 or remove the highlighted values... but here is a multi-row example... that produces the results i think you are describing...

Hi @AjaySetty 

In situations like these you need to precisely define the rules of when you want to apply the changes and when you don't.  For instance the following workflow gives you the output your looking for, but probably not for the reasons that you want.  

It adds a subrowID and then uses this to remove the alternate values from the CR and DR columns, to give you this. 

The output matches your requirements, but likely won't work with your real data.  In order to get something that works in all cases, you need to explicitly write down the rules to transform your input into your outputs for all cases.  Your situation probably includes rules like the following and most likely others 

- If the previous debit is the same as the current one then 0 the current

- if the next credit is the same as the current then 0 out the current

Without a set of rules, we have no way of knowing what you want to do.

Thanks for the solution, spent a lot of time experimenting with different criteria's and got almost closer to what you suggested.

That helps.
