Multi field row formula

bsheremeta

I have a data set with the following column (txt):

"5

16.

123

234

135

1435

13

64."

 

I need the output to be:

"5

13"

 

So basically the rows before the number with the period (.)

I tried using multi row formula with the following:

IIF(CONTAINS([txt],"."), [Row-1:txt] , Null())

But don't seem to get the correct result

2021-07-20 (1).png2021-07-20 (2).pngAre you using multi-row formula? If so make sure you are creating a new string column... Otherwise if you are creating a new string in multi-row formula you code seems fine.... You'd want to filter out the null()s after...

Hi @bsheremeta 

 

Here is a workflow that uses the multirow formula to create a flag that is then used to filter out the records you are looking for.

@bsheremetaI think you did the hardwork on this one - your formula was a-ok.
