Add a new blank column with 5 defaulted rows by using "Formula tool" to current workflow

Dear Alteryx experts, 

 

Is it possible to append a couple of defaulted rows data from a column without moving its position at the bottom? I want the new data to be visible on top. I've tried with the union tool but the position is not what i want. 

 

fyi: 

my current data

the data i want to append: ideally i want those data from one column to be appended without duplicated and changing its position

Hi @Jimmylee4real ,

 

Can you provide an example of the desired output?

 

It's not clear to me if you want to use a union tool and change the order that the fields appear in that output, or append the fields of category to those of company and product, to create all possible combinations.

 

Thanks,

 

Angelos

hello there, I am trying to append the fields of category to those of company and product. The order doesn't matter coz i just want the users to see the description of category so basically I just want to append the fields category there to be upfront. thanks for your time!

may i know did you join the records by position on the join tool? 

 

just two quick questions here please: 

 

1. can we merge and center the category column coz for the actual workflow, there will be more wordings and descriptions instead of just ABC...etc so i want it to be as visible as possible 

 

2. can we use the workflow from you and connect before a "summarize tool". Once everything is organized, I will output it as excel format.

 

thanks again for your valuable time!
