@iellingsonbg  the append fields tool would be a tool of interest in this use case. let me know if you run into any issues.

Yes I have tried the append fields as this seems the natural solution but I have been unable to find the correct pattern to get it to produce the desired result.

@iellingsonbg I attached a sample workflows, hopefully that helps.

This works perfectly for the 2 fruit.  However when I introduce the 3rd fruit my scenarios do not line up properly (even when modifying to include 3 options per scenario rather than just 2).

@iellingsonbg,

 

I solved this for a dynamic set of option 1 items and a fixed set of On/Off values.  I'm happy to share my solution with you if you private message me.  I'd like to suggest this as a weekly challenge to Alteryx @JoeM .

 

Cheers,
