@Samals I've attached an example workflow demonstrating how I would attack this problem. I'll edit this post with a multi-row example as well shortly.

 

EDIT: I've added an alternate solution which essentially just applies the multi-row formula tool both forwards and backwards. It's less tools and easier on the eyes, but I think I would tend to use my original solution more often in practice.  They both provide the same answer.

Here's another solution, if you want to keep the original order you can just add a Record ID tool at the beginning and resort by Record ID.
