Duplicate rows with a change only in 4 columns

Hi!

I have a current dataset, which needs to be duplicated. I need the original fields to also stay, and then in the duplicated versions I need a change in four columns  by four numbers. (i need the original rows, where the number currently is zero, then the same data set with a number in three of the columns stay still 0 but in the last one go to 1, then by 5 and then 10... I also need this to be mixed around, i.e the first column is 1 the other is 0 and the third is 5... basically A LOT of duplicaitons). Is there a way to do that? I have been playing around with generate rows tool, but I can only add one at the time and if when I add it the second time, the in also duplicates it more than once. I am just confused. 

Thank you!

Nat

 

EDIT: I apologise, I added dummy data in the excel file.

the goal is for the last four columns that start with "param" to range between -10,-5,-1,0,1,5, 10. 

So i want to keep all the data with all the zeroes, but also all the data to be duplicated and have a version for each one of the numbers above.

Hi @nataliad18 

Could you please give us some dummy data (input and desired output) to help us help you with your question?

 

Thanks

Hi @nataliad18 

 

Got it you want to create combinations. You can create them using append tool to do a permutation of 5 values in 4 columns.

Please check and let me know does this work for you.

 

Hope this helps : )

Hi @nataliad18 ,

 

I used a generate rows tool to create new records for each duplicate column and then a look up table to assign the new values between -10 to 10to the new columns

If you need more columns to be generated, you can increase the value in the generate rows tool and include that into the lookup table

 

EDIT : Looking at @atcodedog05 output and after re-reading the post, I'm a bit confused about what the desired output should be. @nataliad18  Maybe you can provide one, like @OllieClarke suggested ?
