Hi, 

 

I have a data set that is grouped by a Unique ID and Month. I would like to the Total Balance and Average Balance fields to display the difference between the two months. Please see example below. 

 

Input: 

 

IDMonthTotal Balance Average Balance 
01May5,0002,000
01June7,0006,000

 

Desired Output: 

IDTotal Balance Average Balance 
013,0004,000

Hi @sshahid96 

 

Here is how you can do it.

Workflow:

1. Using multi-row formula to calculate abs([previous row] - [current row]). Abs is used to take positive value

2. Using summarize tool to take last row value with variance.

 

Hope this helps : )
