I have a series of snapshots for a list of companies. Only changed values will appear in subsequent snapshots, and new companies can be added in new snapshots. This is great for db storage.
What I would like to have, is a fully populated row for each company, for all subsequent snapshots after they first appeared.
Meaning:
Company 1 | Snapshot 1 | value 1 | value 2 | value 3 |
Company 1 | Snapshot 2 | Value 1 | null() | null() |
Company 2 | Snapshot 2 | value 1 | value 2 | value 3 |
Company 1 | Snapshot 3 | value 1 | null() | null() |
Becomes:
Company 1 | Snapshot 1 | value 1 | value 2 | value 3 |
Company 1 | Snapshot 2 | Value 1 | value 2 (from snapshot 1) | value 3 (from snapshot 1) |
Company 2 | Snapshot 2 | value 1 | value 2 | value 3 |
Company 1 | Snapshot 3 | value 1 | value 2 (from snapshot 1) | value 3 (from snapshot 1) |
Company 2 | Snapshot 3 | value 1 (from snapshot 2 | value 2 (from snapshot 2) | value 3 (from snapshot 2) |
There is probably a more elegant way of describing this. Basically each company gets a fully populated row after they appear. If no new value is provided, take the last provided value for the row.
I have maybe 10 value columns in my dataset, so simple workflow is best for upkeep.
Hey @Dan5 ,
I have created a workflow that I think solved this issue. The multi-row formula tool will be your friend here.
Let me know if that worked for you

Thanks, this is great!. However, what if there is no record for one company for one snapshot? Fx Company 2 has no row for snapshot 3, but appears again in snapshot 7 with a new value? How can i generate rows for each subsequent snapshot for a company after it first appears?
