Percentage variance

Hello, 

 

Is there any way we could do % variance in Alteryx? For example in attached excel, if data variance is more than 50% then those rows should come as exception.

@noopurjain , I want to say that Alteryx can definitely do a % variance, but I'm not sure that I understand exactly what's going on in the spreadsheet you attached.  

 

Could you articulate the math/logical steps that you'd take to get to % variance as it relates to the spreadsheet you shared?

@noopurjain  I think so, we will get 3 records as per yours's data set. let me know is it your expecting output???

Hello,

When you say variance, I assume you meant month over month variance? 

The attached workflow walks through how you can use a Multi Row tool to calculate the month over month variance, and then highlight any row where a variance greater than 50% was found in any of the underlying months.
