Need Assistance with Setting Up Multi-Row Formula Tool (never used it before)

TomBock

Hi:
 
I'm relatively new to using Alteryx.  Up until this point, I have not utilized the 'Multi-Row Formula' tool before.
 
Thus, I kindly request assistance with setting it up.  Attached are 3 files:
 
1. "SourceData -- Example Calculations":
1a. For [Amount], this demo files illustrates the subtraction of 2 rows (within the same column/field).   
1b. For now, the ABS value is fine.
 
1. "SourceData -- Example Calculations":
1c. For [Date1] and [Date2], I would like to identify the delta between Date1 and Date2 for each consecutive rows.  
 
2. "SourceData"
- Contains the data for [Amount], [Date1], [Date2] without the sample calculations...
- ... so, pls used this data source for the Alteryx process.
 
3. "Multi-Row Formula":
- I tried setting up the 2 different calculations using the Multi-Row formula tool.
 
 
My questions:
- How do they two multi-row formulas tools have to be modified in order to achieve the desired outcome?

Hi @TomBock ,

 

Here is a method:

The formulas are:

IF isnull([Row-1:Amount]) THEN null() ELSE ABS([Amount] - [Row-1:Amount]) ENDIF

 

and 

IF IsNull([Row+1:Date1]) THEN null() ELSE DateTimeDiff([Row+1:Date1],[Date2],"Seconds") ENDIF

 

Note: I did the time delta in seconds.
