SumIf Subtraction of Row Items

Hello! I have the following data with six rows and a header and I am trying to within Alteryx turn it into the second data table with 9 rows + a header. I would like a solution to the following that could work with six rows or six million rows. 

For each Year, I want to subtract the Value in Second from the Value in First. 

For example, for 2015, FIrst has a value of 10 and Second has a value of 5. I want to subtract 5 from 10  (i.e. 10-5 = 5) and put that in a new row with a Year as 2015, Name as Third, and Value as 5. 

Input Data:

YearNameValue
2015First10
2016First20
2017First30
2015Second5
2016Second5
2017Second5

 



Desired Output:

YearNameValue
2015First10
2016First20
2017First30
2015Second5
2016Second5
2017Second5
2015Third5
2016Third15
2017Third25


Please let me know if you have further questions, and thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Andy,

 

Take a look at the attached - it should work regardless of the number of years, but not necessarily if there are more than 2 values you need to subtract, though you could modify it to suit your needs.

 

Regards,
