Replacing a null value with a different row's value

Hello all,

 

I am working in alteryx and trying to prevent data loss that occur due to null values. One idea I have is that a null value may appear in a row but is actually something that a different row has the correct value for. I have tried to display this dilemma with the image below:

I have typed some script on the side that to me sounds like it would work but I am not sure how to operationalize it into alteryx. Could anyone help me out? Additionally, does this sort of problem have a name that I could use to do further research on?

 

Thanks so much for your time and effort:)

Ben M

Check out the multi-row formula tool, that will do what you need.

Hello @benjaminmartin16 ,

 

You can do that with the Multi-row formula.

The greatest thing about this tool is that you can work with rows above or below and that will allow you to do what you are looking for.
