Question on Creating FY Field

Hello, I am still getting used to Alteryx and could use some help in creating a field called FY. Basically a FY is calculated as:

 

((Summer B (yr), Fall (yr), Spring (yr +1), Summer A (yr+1))

 

Any help would be appreciated or even pointed into the right direction. 

 

Current:

YearSeasonCode
2018SummerA
2018FallB
2019SpringA
2019SummerB
2019FallA
2020SpringA
2020SummerA
2020SummerB

 

Expected:

YearSeasonCodeFY
2018SummerAFY17
2018FallBFY18
2019SpringAFY18
2019SummerBFY19
2019FallAFY19
2020SpringAFY19
2020SummerAFY19
2020SummerBFY20

Hi @ghtill , this formula should get you what you need. Make sure the year is an integer first. 

 

 if [Code]="B" or [Season] = "Fall" then "FY"+ right(tostring([Year]),2)
elseif [Code]="A" or [Season] = "Summer" then "FY"+
right(tostring([Year]-1),2) else "N/A" endif

thanks! @michelle_mathews I only had to add an additional "or" to the elseif statement of [season] = spring incase spring was not a code A
