How to join two unique datasets each with only one column and generate combination of both

Hi All,

 

I am struggling to find a way how to generate a dataset from two unique columns (A,B), in a way that each unique value in data set A would get expanded by all unique values from dataset B.

An example below should be better in describing what I am looking for.

 

Dataset A

1

2
3

 

Dataset B

A

B
C

 

Desired Dataset

1

A

1B
1C
2A
2B
2C
3A
3B
3C

 

I hope it makes sense, thank you all in advance :)!

Hi @AdamMina ,

 

The "Append fields" tool is your friend ! It creates every combination of values from both sources !

 

Here is the documentation : https://help.alteryx.com/20212/designer/append-fields-tool

Hi @AdamMina,

 

As @Jean-Balteryx mentioned you can use append tool like below to create combinations.
