Adding a new, populated field to existing data - Generate Rows Tool?

I have a set of data that natively has two fields, Customer ID and Number of Visits, with about 2.0M records. It looks a bit like this:

Cust IDVisits
1234534
324535
2379521

 

I'd like to supplement that set with a third field called "Month" and simply add the same value for each record. "Sept" in this case so it would look like this:

Cust IDVisitsMonth
1234534Sept
324535Sept

 

 

I'm honing in on the Generate New Rows tool, but the syntax for pulling off what I want is eluding me. I'm certainly new to Alteryx, but I think I am close to pulling this one off.

 

Any suggestions for the "Initialization Expression," "Condition Expression," and "Loop Expression?"

 

Thanks

Ty

You could simply use a formula tool to create a new field, month. The formula would be: "Sept".

Ok?

Ah, I forgot about that tool. Glad it is that straighforward!

 

Thanks
