Mapping an Output Based on a New Condition and Reversing the Value Sign

I'm sure the subject line is super confusing, but I wasn't sure how to word this. I have an output that looks like this:

State	Emp No	Job	Income
TX	1234567	Trainer	1000
OK	1234569	Driver	800
KS	1234534	Sales	1200

I want to take this output with the exact same dimensions (State, Emp No) and map it to a new row where the Job is "UNASSIGNED" and the value sign is reversed so that the total is offset to $0. The output would look like this below:

State	Emp No	Job	Income
TX	1234567	Trainer	1000
TX	1234567	UNASSIGNED	-1000
OK	1234569	Driver	800
OK	1234569	UNASSIGNED	-800
KS	1234534	Sales	1200
KS	1234534	UNASSIGNED	-1200

Any idea how to accomplish this? I'm stuck...

Thanks!

The easiest way I can think of is:

- Use a record ID tool to store the record order

- Then use a formula tool to create the UNASSIGNED rows

- Union the output of the formula tool with the input and sort with the record id

You could do something like this...

You basically take your data, use the Formula tool hardcode the one field to UNASSIGNED and reverse the sign. Then Union it back to the original data. If you want to have the records next to each other, then just Sort on the key fields.

If there are only certain records you want changed, then just add a Filter tool with those conditions before the Formula tool.
