Row-to-Row Differences Using Alteryx's "Multi-Row Formula" Tool | Julio Herrera

[julioherreraviadei]

Hello, I'm Julio Herrera from Via Dei Velutini, Italia. I’d like to share some information and need your assistance. Could you please explain how to use the "Multi-Row Formula" tool in Alteryx to calculate the difference between the current row and the previous row for a numeric field? Additionally, what are some potential use cases for this calculation?

Hi @julioherreraviadei 

You can use the expression in the Multi-Row Formula Tool `[Value] - [Row-1:Value]`. The `Value` represents the current row, while `Row-1:Value` refers to the previous row, allowing you to calculate the difference between them. This approach is particularly useful for calculating month-over-month sales growth, tracking stock price changes, or identifying temperature differences across consecutive days.

If you need any help please share your exact requirement with sample data so that i can help you.

Best Regards,

Kaustubh
