Optimization Tool Issue

Hi Team

 

I'm facing issue with the optimization tool. I have attached the workflow without optimization tool. I have two datasets 1 and 2 .

In the second dataset . I'm getting the expected results . However with the first dataset, I'm facing the issue.

 

Logic for this workflow :

 

 
Logic -1   Logic - 2  
100.05 1:M 40.67 M:M
-50.45   67.78  
-50.60   -30.55  
30.99   -44.33  
    -33.57  
    60.77  

 

As shown in the amounts are getting written off based on 1:M and M:M (original data is scrambled).

note : workflow attached does not have optimization tool due to my trial license

What is the objective here?

What are you trying to achieve?

The "Logic for this workflow" is just a list of numbers.

What does "1:M" and "M:M" mean?

objective is to balance positive and negative where sum is equal to zero.

for Example :

 

Input :

 

rowAmount
1101.05
2-50.45
3-50.6
430.99
540.67
667.78
7-30.55
8-44.33
9-33.57
1060.77

 

Expected output :

rowAmounttype
1101.05balanced
2-50.45balanced
3-50.6balanced
430.99 
540.67balanced
667.78balanced
7-30.55balanced
8-44.33balanced
9-33.57balanced
1060.77 

 

As shown in the expected output  from row 1 to 2 sum is zero ( balance is done based on 1 : M combination , 1 positive and M negatives)
and from row 5 to 9 sum is zero ( balance is done based on M : M combination , Many positives and Many negatives)
I need to build a workflow which balances amount with combination 

 

In the uploaded Excel, there are two datasets have been attached
Data set -2 is balancing correctly, giving the sum of amounts is zero
when i used same logic for data set-1, the sum of amounts is not equal to zero

 

is it possible to balance amounts without optimization tool
