Compare last 6 months columns data

JJ523

Hi, I have 12 months of data spread across columns and need to compare data in last 6 months and update the Comment column based on two conditions. 1) Update comment as Adjusted if value goes down in any of the last 6 months. 2) Update comment as Not adjusted if value is remains same or increases in last 6 months. 

Note :12 months input is dynamic represents last 12 months from current month

 

Appreciate for your help on this.

Hi @JJ523 ,

 

what about creating a formula from the field names and handing over this formula to a macro?

I  get the field names using a Field Info tool, select the numeric fields only, keep the last 6, use a Summarize tool to build a formula and a macro for execution.

 

What do you think, could it be an approach?

 

Best,

 

Roland

hi @atcodedog05 @RolandSchubert, both of your solutions worked.  I preferred to go without macro to make it simple. Thanks a ton :)
