Alteryx Running Total ID, only change when related column changes

Hello,

 

Using a Multi-Row Formula, how would I create the ID column below?

I have tried the following to no avail:

IF [Location] = [Row-1:location] THEN [ID] = [ID]
ELSE [ID]+1
ENDIF

 

Many thanks.

Hello @HenpetsGordres1 ,

 

You almost got it right:

 

IF [Location] = [Row-1:location] THEN [Row-1:ID]
ELSE [Row-1:ID]+1
ENDIF

try this:

 

if location = [Row-1:Location]

then [Row-1:ID]

else [Row-1:ID] +1

endif

Hi @HenpetsGordres1 ,

 

Try to do as attached workflow.

Let me know if that works for you.

 

Best,

unless you need to get more complicated with your criteria, I prefer to use the tile tool with the following settings:

 

Tile Method: Unique Value

 

Unique Column: Location (make sure "Leave Unsorted" is checked)

 

And then use the "Tile_Num" as your new ID field.

 

as like most things with alteryx, there are a number of ways to solve the problem!
