Multi field Formula

Ekta
8 - Asteroid

Hello everyone 

i would like to seek help on multi field tool.

 

I have a data set with multiple fields and i would like to autofill the down rows with the above data ,

I have been using multi row formula tool quite well if i have to auto fill 1 or 2 columns but now i have around 20 columns, 

I understand Multi field formula can work in this situation.

 

Please help me with the formula

 

Currently am using this formula for one column, how can i modify it for multiple columns

if isempty([Name]) then [Row-1:Name]
else [Name]
endif

 

Thank you so much

Hi @Ekta ,

 

You are correct to think that multi-field can help you when you want to change multiple columns at the same time.

 

The only problem is that multi-field tool can't operate between rows as multi-row tool does, so to achieve the result you need, we can do a trick with data transformation to get exactly what you want.

 

Take a look and let me know if that is what you are looking for.
