Hi All,

 

First, appreciate your help.

 

My data table below:

NametaskLayer 1Layer 2Total
test 11.test 21123
test 12.test 22235
test 13.test 23347
test 14.test 24459
test 15.test 255611
test 16.test 266713
test 21.test 217815
test 22.test 228917
test 23.test 2391019
test 24.test 24101121
test 25.test 25111223
test 26.test 26121325

 

How do I design a workflow that will handle the 'Layer' column if more layers are added by the user in the input data?

 

For example, there might be a 'Layer 3' column between 'Layer 2' and 'Total', and the sum in the 'Total' column should include the totals of 'Layer 1', 'Layer 2', 'Layer 3', and so on if more layers are added

 

The number in those Layer 1, 2,3 could be any numbers

 

NametaskLayer 1Layer 2Layer 3Total
test 11.test 211236
test 12.test 222349
test 13.test 2334512
test 14.test 2445615
test 15.test 2556718
test 16.test 2667821
test 21.test 2178924
test 22.test 22891027
test 23.test 239101130
test 24.test 2410111233
test 25.test 2511121336
test 26.test 2612131439

Hi, I'm assuming your input data is just an excel sheet in this solution but you can utilise the Transpose and Summarize tools to get a total column:

I have simply copied your examples of the tables into the text input tools. The first one contains two columns and the second, three columns.
