Multifield Formula for Multiple Columns

Hello,

 

How can I use multi field formula to empty rows. If the row is empty then it should copy the data from previous rows with existing strings. I used this expression but it wont work:

Hi @Gamaliel

 

You can use multiple separate Multi-Row Formula tools to accomplish this, especially if you only have two columns. For a more dynamic solution that works better for small to moderately large data, see the attached workflow. 

 

Your expression was close. The fields you were grouping would have worked against your intended solution, and your IsNull syntax was SQL instead of Alteryx. 

 

I hope this helps! If it's helpful, please consider marking it as a solution so others may find it.
