Round Robin Work Allocation within Capacity

bigbang

Hi All,

I have two input files:

1. File1: IDs

2. File2: Assignee, capacity

 

I want to assign all the IDs among the assignees but within their capacity. The allocation of Ids should also be one by one. 

Ex if we have 3 assignees (A, 5 capacity, B, 5 capacity, C capacity 1):

Output:

ID | assignee

1 | A

2 | B

3 | C

4 | A

5 | B

6 | A  (as C has only 1 capacity.

and so on.. until their capacity is reached or IDs are no more pending. 

 

I am very new to Alteryx so any help will be appreciated.

Hello Neo,

There are 2 separate files 

1. File1: IDs

2. File2: Assignee, capacity

I modified the workflow to change the ID assignment structure, please see attached workflow.

Please note that for the "Over Capacity" assignments in the new workflow the "Capacity" field is not used, the work is assigned in a loop regardless of capacity.
