Hi,

 

Please someone can solve this issue ?

 

Its need to calculate the next result using the previous one.

 

HAVE

 

segment month safra qt_account_initial attrition
varejo 30/06/2019 1 100 2,00%
varejo 31/07/2019 2 100 2,00%
varejo 31/08/2019 3 100 2,00%
affluent 30/06/2019 1 80 0,00%
affluent 31/07/2019 2 80 0,00%
affluent 31/08/2019 3 80 0,00%

 

WANT

segment month safra qt_account_initial attrition new_qt_account acc_whithout_attrition attrition_to_new_segment
varejo 30/06/2019 1 100 2,00% 98,00 98,00 2,00
varejo 31/07/2019 2 100 2,00% 96,04 96,04 3,96
varejo 31/08/2019 3 100 2,00% 94,12 94,12 5,88
affluent 30/06/2019 1 80 0,00% 82,00 82,00 0,00
affluent 31/07/2019 2 80 0,00% 85,96 82,00 0,00
affluent 31/08/2019 3 80 0,00% 91,84 82,00 0,00

 

The TRICK is : THE attrition_to_new_segment result needs to be added to the AFFLUENT Segment line before the its calculation.

 

Please, use SAFRA EQ 1 for the condition to the first iteration.

 

I could get the calculation using the retain, but could not solve the trick.

@Augusto :

The calculation pattern for the 2 segments you've shown, "varejo" and "affluent" is clear. What is not clear is what should happen to the segment groups that follow. For example: Is the 3-record "affluent" segment followed by another 3-record segment other than "affluent"; and is the latter followed by a 3-record "affluent" segment again? Please show two more segments with their figures after the "affluent" segment you've already shown. Without it, it's impossible to infer the logic for the entire program.

 

Kind regards
