How can we merge rows of a table as shown below:
| X | Y | | | | | |
| STATE_1 | 1 | | STATE_1 | 6 | 896 | |
| STATE_1 | 2 | | STATE_2 | 7 | |
| STATE_1 | 3 | | STATE_3 | 22 | |
| STATE_2 | 4 | | STATE_4 | 861 | |
| STATE_2 | 3 | | STATE_2 | 94 | 94 | |
| STATE_3 | 2 | | STATE_1 | 37 | 412 | |
| STATE_3 | 5 | | STATE_2 | 4 | |
| STATE_3 | 10 | | STATE_3 | 18 | |
| STATE_3 | 5 | | STATE_4 | 353 | |
| STATE_4 | 576 | | STATE_2 | 94 | 94 | |
| STATE_4 | 33 | | STATE_1 | 37 | 37 | |
| STATE_4 | 25 | | STATE_2 | 4 | 4 | |
| STATE_4 | 97 | | | | | |
| STATE_4 | 54 | | | | | |
| STATE_4 | 76 | | | | | |
| STATE_2 | 94 | | | | | |
| STATE_1 | 37 | | | | | |
| STATE_2 | 4 | | | | | |
1. First group the continuous occurrence of rows
2. Calculate the sum of sequential occurrence of STATE_1 to STATE_4
Pfa the sample table for your reference
I solved the problem using 2 new formula columns
The Group column formula just creates a grouping number when :Big Value is detected
If( Row() == 1, theGroup = 0 );
If( Is Missing( :Big Value ) == 0,
theGroup
++);
theGroup;
The Sum column formula just looks one row ahead, and if it detects a non missing value for :Big Value, it adds up the sums for both :Value and :Big Value for the current Group and then adds them together
If( Is Missing( :Big Value[Row() + 1] ) == 0,
Sum( Col Sum( :Value, :Group ), Col Sum( :Big Value, :Group ) ),
If( Row() == N Rows( Current Data Table() ) & Is Missing( :Big Value ) == 0,
Sum( :Value, :Big Value )
)
)
Attached is the data table I used
