count if

Hello,

 

I am trying to replicate an excel count if formula. The difference with this is I want to count all items down a list, but nothing above. See below attachment for illustration

pangersandmash_0-1607608620188.png

In this example, the count on 2135658HFA is 3 (in total). but by the second one, the count excludes the one above. so there are only 2 to count. Then on the last it becomes 1, as it excludes the 2 above.

Essentially, i want to allocate a "1" next to the LAST unique concat 2. 

Please help!!!

Thanks

I would use a summarize to get a total count of all values, and then append it to another column. From there, you can use a multi-row formula or running total and formula to find the "rolling count."

 

Are you able to upload a copy of your sample data? I can try to mock a workflow for you. Thanks!

Thank you, few questions,

 

what is the formula 'rowno=1'? 

what configuration should the 'tile' tool have?

 

Thanks,

THank you for your help. I want to replicate the countif 2 column in column V

See attached - I believe it's what you're looking for. I essentially created a running total and then subtracted the total count of the column. I added the record ID and sort to keep the same order.

 

Hope this helps!

Hi Pangersandmash,

 

I have replicated the same excel formula countif 2 column in column V.

 

My workflow gives you the same expected output.
