I can't figure out on how to do this on alteryx

Value1Value2Value3Desired Result
4 54
3  3
34 3
5555

 

Formula on Excel:

 

=ROUNDDOWN(AVERAGE(A1:A3),0)

Hi @Ultralightbeam , the formula you mentioned needs a correction. The calculation mentioned should be 

 

 

 

 

 

=ROUNDDOWN(AVERAGE(A1:C1),0)

 

 

 

 

 

 calculating the average along the row.

 

I have prepared a workflow  if it helps. First you need to take the average using summarize tool then you can round down the value using formula tool.

 

EDIT: FLOOR(Desired Result) will help to round down the value.

Note: This solution is dynamic will run for n number of columns.

 

If this helps kindly mark this post as solution.

Thanks.

Hi @Ultralightbeam,

 

How about this expression within the formula tool? It's not particularly dynamic, but it is simple.

 

Floor(Average([Value1],[Value2],[Value3]))

@clmc9601  tried that before it does still count null rows

Hi @clmc9601 , in your case the formula would consider the null values as well that is 
Sum(value1,value2,value3)/3. The output would be

But in this case we need not to consider the null values as per the desired result.

 

Thanks.

Hello @grazitti_sapna

if you will look into row 5 - result is 5 while it should be 4 rounddown

 

Edit:
I think i got it by using Floor([Desired Result])

Please correct me if i am wrong.

@Ultralightbeam  yes floor will work in this case.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Floor is the better option in this case.

 

Thanks.
