Multi row tool - How to change a value based on TRUE or FALSE

Hi guys,

 

I have a challenge which I couldn't find a correct solution so far and I thought you could help me.

 

In the dataset below every code has 2 rows. I want to create a new column called ACCESS which will check the status of each code in both lines. If I have 2 NO, the access will be NO, if I have at least 1 YES, the access will be YES. 

 

At the end, I want to have only the code finishing with 30 as NO and all other YES.

I tried some IF statements with multi-row tool but I couldn't get the solution.. 

 

This is a sanitised data, in the real data there are some codes with only 1 row, which the access will be the same as the status but I think in this case I will group by using Sumarize tool and it won't be a problem. 

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Hi @rodalferreira 

 

Instead of using a formula tool, my approach would be to use a sort, summarize, and join tool. 

 

Something like the below:

I've included the workflow for you to try out. 

 

If this solves your issue please mark the answer as correct, if not let me know!

 

Thanks!

I would suggest using a multi-row formula tool grouped by code:

with an expression of:

'yes' in ([Row-1:status],[status],[Row+1:status])

Hi @rodalferreira : you could do this with a Multi-Row Function but I sometimes find these scenarios easier to solve takng the "long way". Here is an example.
