Hi @jeffwongarrow 

 

You can try something like this.

If you are trying to write in a exiting column you might be facing Datatype issue. Hence you need to exclude the column and create the same column in a formula tool.

 

There is 2 scenarios you can check them out.

 

Hope this helps 🙂


If this post helps you please mark it as solution. And give a like if you dont mind 😀👍

Hi @jeffwongarrow ,

 

I think, column names vary, so I would recommend to move column to rows, use a Multi-Row Formula tool to copy the values and move rows back to columns.

I've attached a sample workflow. Let me know if it works for you.

 

Best,

 

Roland
