SUM by Column Header

Hi All,

I'm trying to apply a rule to a set of columns i have (appx 90).  I want to say something along the lines of

 

If [Columnheader] contains [Keyword] then multiply [Columnvalue] by 12.

 

I have been looking at the multi row and field tools but i am struggling a bit. Any help would be great

Cheers

I have tried this

 

IF CONTAINS([_CurrentFieldName_],"TOBEUSED") THEN [_CurrentField_] * 12
ELSE [_CurrentField_]
ENDIF

Your statement should work. Maybe you have the option 'Copy Output field Add' checked which is creating a new field for every variable on the far right of your data which you cannot see.

 

Attached example of your logic implimented and working.

Hey @JTCairns

 

I'd add a recordid and then transpose the data (grouping on recordid)

 

Add a formula tool with your formula

 

crosstab the table back (grouping on recordid)
