My input dataset (Table 1) has 2 columns and 4 rows. I need to calculate row 5 and row 6 as shows in (table 2). Please help me create Row5 and Row6.

 

Calculation:

Row 5 - Average of row 2, 3, 4

Row 6 - (Row1 - Row5)/Row5

 

Table 1: (INPUT DATASET)

WEEK Units
Week 1 81,855
Week 2 80,009
Week 3 71,972
Week 4 68,035

 

Table 2: (OUTPUT DATASET)

WEEK Units
Week 1 81,855
Week 2 80,009
Week 3 71,972
Week 4 68,035
