Multi-row formula for survey questions

Hi everyone!

 

I hope this message finds you well. I'm currently working on a data processing task using Alteryx, and I'm seeking your expertise to help me with a specific challenge. Here's the scenario:

I have a dataset containing survey responses (1-5), from multiple universities over several years. In the dataset, there are null values in the "response-value" column that I'd like to fill using the Multi-Row Formula tool. 

How should I go forward to fill in the NULL-Values?

 

This is a sample of how my data looks like now. (In my dataset, I have 10 indexes (mean of all survey-responses, in the same category), for 30 universities)

Hi,

Take a look at the Imputation Tool under the Preparation folder.  It can fill Nulls with a few different options.

 

Regards.

Not sure what you're trying to do @MagicT 

 

What do you want to replace the nulls / empty records with?

Without using the multi-row tool, you can just filter out the nulls or emptys with

IsNull([Value])
OR
IsEmpty([Value])

 

From there, whatever you filter out can be fixed accordingly, then reintegrated back into your dataset.
