Hi All,

 

Does anyone know how to output the data from left to right?

I would like to group by Name, then having sub total of negative and postive number, as well as the sum. Thanks!

Hey @wklcarolll, not sure how you want to display the results exactly but this workflow gets you to the desired format in a single table. We basically:

 

1 - Use a filter to split negative/positive values and then sum each stream, grouped by Name.

2 - Do an overall sum for each name.

3 - Add a ' sum' tag to each name for the output of step 2.

4 - Re-union all of our streams and sort by name ascending (to get the ' sum' tag as the final row of each 'section' and then Sum_Number ascending to start with the negative values for each person).

 

Hope this helps!

It works! Thanks @DataNath  and @caltang .

Further would like to ask if you happen to know how to highlight the row with SUM? Thanks!

You will need to use the Reporting tools to do that, then use a Render tool to export to Excel. The Table Tool allows you to highlight it into any colour of your liking.
