Hi @RR8 

 

Here's an example using the append fields tool. I approached it by:

 

  1. Filter: Isolate the record we want to apply to all fields
  2. Formula: Create 'REF' field by taking the value in the 3rd column and removing the 'REF:' part.
  3. Append fields: Append the REF field back to the dataset
