Numbering at every change

Steven_Garcia

I am new to Alteryx so this is very difficult for me. But is there a way where a column can be numbered at every change it sees in another column? But with the numbering being twice.

 

So for example going down on Field3, it will need to be 1,1,2,2 and every time it sees a change in Field2 it will restart. The column CorrectWay is how the output should look like.

@Steven_Garcia One way of doing this with the help of the Multi-Row formula

Thank you for that! But how do I make this functional if let's say my first column changes naming. So there could be instances where I do not have the word Level or Amount.

Hi @Steven_Garcia 

 

That should be achievable, can you provide a representative sample data set?

Yes. Here is an example data set. Thank you!

Hi @Steven_Garcia 

 

Assuming there will always be two rows to get grouped together, this should work:

 

  1. Use tile tool to add a sequence ID for each Field2 value
  2. Divide the sequence ID by 2, then round up

Wow that is genius! I would have never thought to divide! Thank you so much.
