Multi Field/Row Function

Hi, I am working with a flow that requires 18 columns to have the same rules. Is there a formula that could be used with the Multi Field function that would resemble the Multi Row function? The following is the formula that I've been trying and not having any success:

 

IF IsNull([_CurrentField_]) THEN

[Row-1:_CurrentField_]

ELSE [_CurrentField_] ENDIF

Hi @reginawhelan the Multi-Field Tool won't have the functionality of the Multi-Row to interact with the rows above and below. I mocked up a workflow that should handle this situation and be dynamic. Let me know what you think?

Hi @reginawhelan ,

 

There is no option of using Multi - Row formula in Multi Field.

However here is the workaround. Transpose the data use Mutli - Row with column name groupby and crosstab it.

 

Input:

Output:

Workflow:

Select columns on which you want to apply the Multi-Row formula in Transpose and Crosstab tool.

 

Hope this helps 🙂

Thank you! The Dynamic Rename function was mixing up the data, is it necessary? If I remove this function I am seeing my expected results. Will issues arise if I remove it?

Hi @reginawhelan ,

 

Is only used to carry forward the column names. If thats not a issue you can definitely remove it wont affect the data.
