Multi Row Formula help

wonka1234

Hi,

 

I have the following multi row formula, it creates a column named select and assigns it a 1 where my conditions are met. 0 for no conditions met.

 

if left([CMB SERIES NUMBER],4) = 'CHT1' || [CMB SERIES NUMBER] = 'Total'

then 1

else 0

endif

 

However I only want to do it up unti my FIRST total. I have two Totals in my SERIES column. How can I get my assiging of 1 to stop after my first Total?

 

Problem is I have many CHT1 below my FIRST Total that i want to exclude.

A multi row may not be necessary here.

The way I went about solving it was to use a record ID and single out the first Total row found. I add that back on to the main data as a helper column and use it as part of the conditional to assign the 1 or 0 with a formula tool.

Still getting everything below the Total.

Seems like your filter is getting the 2nd total in this column. Not the First.

The red arrow on the total row indicates that there is leading or trailing white space on that cell. The filter was set to = "Total" so that will fail on that cell. Update the filter formula to be 

trim([CMB SERIES NUMBER]) = "Total" and it should work.
