MultiRow Issue - Cumulative SUM?

Joker_Hazard

Hello all. 

I have a dataset that I need to create a cumulative SUM with some conditional clauses.

As you can see, VDF symbol equals to + the next row and RGF, RGP, RGV equals to subtractions.

Each account will always start with 0 to make things easier, followed by VDF as next row, so the first interaction will be always positive.

I tried multiple formulas using IF CLAUSE in MULTIROW but after many tries I would like to ask for help. 

Can someone give me some hints?

Thanks

Hey @Joker_Hazard,

One simple way assuming your wanting to do this for each account is to group by account and sum the current value with the cumulative sum above:

Hi @Joker_Hazard 

 

Here is a quick way of doing it, if the key field is VDF then it adds the previous rows cumulative value to the value, otherwise it subtracts.
