Formula

NAIDU

Hi All,

I have a requirement and this is a very rare formula. Please help me with the same.

In Numbered list has Duplicate Products for different parents.

For Ex: Product A is a parent member it has a 3 Childs(D, E, F)

Product B is a parent member it has the same 3 Childs(D, E, F)

Product C is a parent member it has the same 3 childs (D, E, F).

We need to move all E product data to D.

Calucualtion D = D + E

PARENT	CHILD	Data before logic	Data After logic
A
	D	100	300
	E	200	0
	F	300	300
B
	D	100	300
	E	200	0
	F	300	300
C
	D	100	300
	E	200	0
	F	300	300

Can you please help me with how to write this calculation. Hope we understood.

Regards,

Naidu

HI @NAIDU,

I have a solution for you!!

Please see below.

Here I have used system generated Id as that will be sequential and would work in this case.

System Id : To get the back end "#" number

System Id +1 : To get the next item

Find item : Converting the above number to list format

Units_Staging : To bring in the value for D and E with respect to the above stated condition

Final Units : Final Output

Hope his helps!!

Regards,
Kavin.

Hello @NAIDU

There are several ways you could do it. Using formulas, using process etc.

But keep PLANS and DISCO in mind. The solution must be sustainable.

I strongly advice not to use Hard coded formulas, today the transition is from E==>D, tomorrow it could be different and there could be multiple transitions. Consider all scenarios.

Never use the # code of the numbered list.

I modeled the following for a single transition, you could extend it for multiple transitions.

I created three lists, a flat list for parent, a flat list for child and the numbered list.

Created a transition model to accept input on what to transition from and to.

Created a module to do the transition calculations as follows,

Line item formulas,

Data
Take Out	IF Numbered List.Child = Transition.Move From THEN -Data ELSE 0
Add In	IF Numbered List.Child = Transition.Move To THEN -1 * Take Out[LOOKUP: Numbered List.Parent Item] ELSE 0
After Movement	Data + Take Out + Add In

It works as below, hope it helps.

Thanks

Arun

Both great solutions @ArunManickam and @kavinkumar

But a very valid point made by Arun in that this needs to follow DISCO and PLANS and be sustainable.
