@ilovecoding , 

Unlike Excel, I do not need to care so much about the cell number.

But when I have to do so, I would add Row number to specify which cell to update, and then "Transpose" to locate the value easily.

 

Say I want to copy the value in [C4] of the input table to [D5] of the output table,

Output table after run

Does it work for your case?

Almost there, but what if the cell which i am copying from is going to be the last cell and designer wouldnt know what cell number is that going to be as it may or may not change.

To add records after the last row, I would use Union tool.
