Expand counts to be units with value 1

Roche

I have sales data with columns Receipt, Item and Number of units bought.  I would like the Number of units bought to be expanded from their original values to units of 1, i.e. such that if Receipt 1 has 2 units of Product A, then 2 rows will be created and the same method for all the other counts which are greater than 1 units.  In the attached excel file is an example of what the data looks like and an example of what the outcome should be.  Thank you

Hi @Roche 

 

The Generate rows is perfect for what you want to do here.

 

There are a couple ways you can set it up, but I have gone with creating a new column to check it was building it successfully:

I loaded in the value needed (Initialization Expression) > checked that value is always greater than 0 (Conditional Expression) > when it's not subtract one and create a new row (Loop Expression)

 

I have attached the workflow as well. Let me know if you have any questions
