Hi Community,

 

I am trying to achieve the following in my workflow: For every name, identify the winner and runner up, and how many pounds are associated with winner and runner up, and output the winner and runner up, as well as associated values. winner criteria needs to be flexible, but for now it is If #1 >= 2x #2 = No decision, ELSE decision. Below is an example.

 

Thanks very much in advance

 

Input:

 A1B2C3D4
John101620
Mary20 21 
Sam142403

 

Output:

 WinnerRunner UpValue for winnerValue for runner up
JohnD4A12010
MaryDecision Required

Condition is set for each column in the formula tool.(i.e #1>= 2*#2)

 

Hope this helps 🙂
