Hallo, It's difficult to explain what I want to achieve and maybe if I could describe it better I would have been able to google a solution. My problem deals with lists of lists of the form {a1, a2, a3, {m1, m2, m3, m4}} e.g. data = { {a1, a2, a3, {m1, m2, m3, m4}}, {b1, b2, b3, {n1, n2, n3, n4}}, {c1, c2, c3, {o1, o2, o3, o4}}, {d1, d2, d3, {p1, p2, p3, p4}}, } I want is to go over the list and transform each of the sublists {a1, a2, a3, {m1, m2, m3, m4}} into a list consisting of pairs {{a1, m1}, {a1, m2}, {a1, m3}, {a1, m4}} so that for the list given above I get { {{a1, m1}, {a1, m2}, {a1, m3}, {a1, m4}}, {{b1, n1}, {b1, n2}, {b1, n3}, {b1, n4}}, {{c1, o1}, {c1, o2}, {c1, o3}, {c1, o4}}, {{d1, p1}, {d1, p2}, {d1, p3}, {d1, p4}}, } I think it could be possible to do this using two nested map operations /@, but I don't find out how to do so exactly, because I run into trouble with the scope of the # What I'm doing at the moment is that I use a module: verteilen[liste_] := Module[{}, {#[[1]], liste[[1]]} & /@ liste[[4]] ] and map it over the list I want to transform: verteilen[#] & /@ data I'm searching for a much mor elegant way to achive this transformation, any hints? Thanks and best regards Timm
