Generate additional row and update value if cell = a value

Hi and thanks for any help.

 

Users will have the option of selecting 3 different check boxes to update the data input prior to going through a python tool. 

 

Data will be formatted like this where 'type' is a column header,

type
one
two
three

 

but I need to end up like this:

type
one
two1
two2
three

 

 

I do not want to do this within the python tool and can't figure out multi row formula.

 

Thanks

If row 1 will always be one, row 2 always two, etc., you could use a recordID tool. Would something like this work for you?

Hi, @tcouey 

 

Kindly clarify your question.

What is the rationale that would split two into two1 and two2?

Do they have the same prefix or same value or what?

Cheers!

This selection goes into an api get data script with python. If "two" is selected there are actually a couple different api requests that happen in that case. If "one" or "three" happens, the api request works off of just one selection ie they don't need to be split into additional rows with new values.
