Setting up a batch macro

Incredibly simple question. I am trying to set up a macro that just loops through the rows of a text input and I cannot figure it out. So it would be like this:

 

Input:

iterationcol1col2
1AB
2CD

 

Macro input:

iterationcol1

col2

inputinput

input

(one row at a time)

 

Macro output:

iterationresult
1result for iteration 1
1result for iteration 1
2result for iteration 2
2result for iteration 2

(so the union of the results for each iteration)

 

Does anyone have an example of how this is done?

Hi @CosimaS ,

 

I don't know if I understood your request correctly. But to get to the result you are outputting, you don't necessarily need a macro.

 

With a transpose tool and a quick reprocessing of the strings, we achieve the expected result as shown in the screenshot below and the alteryx stream attached.

I have a pretty extensive workflow that produces millions of rows--what I put in the post was just a super boiled down version of the basic macro concept I can't get. The workflow has a text input with one row of data, and I want to build a macro where I feed in several rows and then it takes each row and runs it through
