Formula referring to other data set

Question

Hi All,

I have made a calculation for an average which i would like to either add to the current data set or refer to in a formula. I have a data set with a long list of fields and one data set which contains the calculated average for specific age groups. I want to calculate the numbers in one data set (the long one) with the calculated data in the other data set (this is one row). When using the join tool it will not match as there is nothing to match, or it will just leave one row. Is there a way that I can refer to the data sheet (with one row) and add this in a formula for the long data set? Or is there a way I can add the numbers from the data set to the other without them being on the same line?

I hope it made myself a bit clear.

Thanks,

Scott

I'm not 100% sure what you're asking but it could be an Append Fields tool will do what you want. This allows you to bring a value from one dataset into another dataset as an additional column.
