Hello. I have a dataset that includes a "Type" column which contains the fiscal years and another column that's called "Hours". I want the difference in the hours worked each year and I want it to be DYNAMIC and I would prefer it if the output is in another column.

 

Type       Hours

FY22       10

FY23       15

FY22       5.7

FY20         8

FY21        13

FY20        7.8

 

I want the (Hours worked in FY22 - Hours worked in FY23)

The multi row formula tool isn't really working with me on the actual dataset plus, i still need the output to be connected to all of the other data

Hi Grazitti,

 

Thank you but I already tried that and it did not work because I want the difference in hours between each one of the years (FY22-FY23, FY21-FY22, ..etc.) and I want it to still be connected to my dataset.
