Snake Sequencing

sheathington

I have an assignment of data that has been ranked 1 through however many records there are. I want to assign a snaking sequence of A/B and then B/A in order of rank, so it would look something like this:

RankA/B
1A
2B
3B
4A
5A
6B
7B
8A
9A
10B
4 REPLIES 4
CoG

Is it guaranteed that A and B are equally distributed in the table? or are you adding the A's and B's to the data?

Please find the attached WF to do that. Attached WF accepts any length of character not only A/B but also A/B/C/D....whatever.

Hi @sheathington 

 

Does this formula work for you?

A/B = IF Mod([Rank], 4) / 4 < 0.5 THEN "A" ELSE "B" ENDIF
