Very cool, thank you! So, I tried it....and it produced output that was not expected, and I would go so far as to say that it is wrong. Attached is a jpg file of how the original attribute-component matrix looks like..... Then I do an "Add attribute column" and I get the result shown in modified attribute pic... Ummm, I expected to see a blank column with my designated heading appended to the right of the existing column. What I got was my new column PREPENDED before the last column, and populated with the contents of the original last column. So what did I do wrong?!?
