Skip first row for each group

Link86
8 - Asteroid

Hi,

I am trying to skip the first row for each grouping in my data. How can I do this?

 

Example data:

NameData 1Data 2
John12
JohnAB
Mike32
MikeFG

 

I want the formula to return A B for John and FG for Mike. It won't always be letters and numbers so a regex wont work.

 

Thank you

Hi @Link86 


The sample tool can help here. You can set it to skip the 1st record and group by Name. See below configuration.

Can this be done with a multi field formula tool?

A multi-field formula tool would just apply a formula across multiple columns, so I don't think that achieves what you're looking for. You could probably use a multi-row formula tool to flag the first row for each name followed by a filter tool, but that seems like extra work compared to the sample tool.

Awesome, thank you.
