Lets say we have the following data set 
Attribute: Age, Gender, Floor 
 Row 1.    11     Male      20
 Row 2     11     Female  29
 Row 3     13     Male      18
 Row 4     12     Male.     17

 How do we change only the age of row 2 from 11 to 12 without changing the age value of row 1 from 11 to 12? Thank You

    Hi, 

    see this exmaple workflow below how this could be done. you could either use the "Map" (Numerical) or "Replace" (Nominal) Operator or the Data Editor.

    Another option can be the Set Data operator, which sets the value of an individual cell.
