Hi, I need to create a new variable consisting of three values 1, 2 and 3 and apply to all values to an already existing variable.

 

This is what I have:

A

B

C

 

This is what I need:

A 1

A 2

A 3

B 1

B 2

B 3

C 1

C 2

C 3

 

I realize this is probably an easy fix, but I can't figure it out.  

Thanks for your help 🙂
