Hello

There are many different solutions:

Using your data:

zVals = {13, 8, 15, 9, 15, 8, 11, 2, 18, 8, 5, 10, 11, 10, 9, 14, 6,
   23, 6, 14, 16, 5, 10, 5, 18, 10, 11, 10, 15, 8, 6, 23, 6, 17, 6,
   12, 9, 17, 4, 8, 18, 4, 18, 9, 13, 9, 14, 6, 10, 6, 5, 13, 5, 10,
   6, 19, 8, 17, 9, 16, 15, 5, 13, 5, 11, 9, 16, 2, 21, 11, 4, 15, 7,
   10, 7, 16, 10, 14, 7, 18, 17, 8, 15, 11, 14, 5, 14, 4, 13, 6, 8,
   16, 8, 22, 8, 6, 9, 13, 5, 12};
tbl = Table[{i, j}, {i, 0.05, 1, 0.1}, {j, 0.05, 1, 0.1}];

You can use e.g. one of the 4 solutions:

MapThread[Append, {tbl, Partition[zVals, 10]}, 2]

MapThread[Join, {tbl, Partition[({#1} & ) /@ zVals, 10]}, 2]

Partition[ MapThread[Join, {Flatten[tbl, 1], ({#1} & ) /@ zVals}, 1],
10]

k = 0; Table[ k = k + 1; {i, j, zVals[[k]]}, {i, 0.05, 1, 0.1}, {j,
0.05, 1, 0.1}]

I hope this helps.

Best Regards
Norbert Marxer
