For Example,

 Input data

namevalueMonth

1red1Feb
2red2Jan
2red2Mar
2red2Apr

 

output data

namevalueMonth
2red2Jan
2red2Mar
2red2Apr

 

Can anyone help please

Hi @divyakavishwar I mocked up a workflow let me know what you think?

Hi @divyakavishwar,

 

you could do this using a combination of Sort and Multi-Row-Formulas:

What happens:

- I created a table with Month and Month numbers to make it easier:

- We join both together and sort it

- Multi-Row-Formula to find the bad ones

- Sort them and another Multi-Row-Formula to mark all bad if one is bad

- Filter only the bad ones

- Sort to get the original order

 

Result:

Workflow attached. Let me know what you think.

different approach, using fewer tools. That said, this will not work if your data ever crosses years (i.e. the records contain more than one year and go from December to January). In that case you'd need a year field in order to account for the difference.
