Multi-row formula if statement

Hi - 

I need to do the following - if the row above in the File name is different, I need to populate something into another column. 

 

Input:

 

File NameCPC
1-Feb 
1-FebBC
1-Feb 
2-Feb 
2-FebAH
2-Feb 
3-Feb 
3-FebAA
3-Feb 

 

Output:

 

File NameCPC
1-Feb 
1-FebBC
1-Feb 
2-FebALL
2-FebAH
2-Feb 
3-FebALL
3-FebAA
3-Feb 

 

 

Basically as soon as there is a change in filename, I need the first row to say ALL in the CPC column. 

 

thanks!

A multi-row formula tool updating the CPC column with an expression of:

IIF([Row-1:File Name]!=[File Name],"ALL",[CPC])

should work.

 

You will need to make sure the CPC column is of a type which can fit ALL in (hence using a SELECT tool in the example)
