I'm working on a project and got stuck on this step, where I want to add a new column to an existing data set, but the new column only have information for a few rows, and I want to fill the rest with 0. As can be seen below, input 1 represents the existing data set, and input 2 only have data on three rows (names), for the output I want to add line 2, and fill the rest with 0. Is that possible?

 

Input 1  Input 2  Output  
NameLine1 NameLine2 NameLine1Line2
A10 B5 A100
B4 C8 B45
C50 E7 C508
D20    D200
E3    E37
F4    F40

Hey @zoeuno! I would suggest using a Join tool with your two inputs, joining on Name. I would then use a Union on the L and J outputs from the join (assuming input 1 is on the left). Finally, I would add a Formula for the Line2 field that says:

IIF(isnull([Line2]), 0, [Line2])

Hope this helps!
