Combine not empty cells from almost empty rows
Hi! I have this table:
| Id | Name | Items | Date |
| 1 | A | Item 1 | 01-01-2021 |
| Item 2 | |||
| 2 | B | Item 3 | 01-02-2021 |
| 3 | C | Item 4 | 01-01-2021 |
| Item 5 | |||
| Item 6 |
The data in the rows with the empty cells in Id, Name and Date belong to the previous not empty row, I need to combine the the data with a delimmter like this:
| Id | Name | Items | Date |
| 1 | A | Item 1,Item 2 | 01-01-2021 |
| 2 | B | Item 3 | 01-02-2021 |
| 3 | C | Item 4,Item 5,Item 6 | 01-01-2021 |
Hi itEquilibria ,
According to your description, you first need to use the filled down function in the power query. Then create a column and filter the rows whose ID is not empty in the table visual. I did a test, the reference is as follows:
Column = CALCULATE ( CONCATENATEX ( VALUES ( 'Table'[Items] ), 'Table'[Items], "," ), ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Id] ) )
If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information and let me know immediately. Looking forward to your reply.
Best Regards,
Henry

You should fill the empry cells in Power Query using the Fill down option. You can then use CONCATENATEX to get the expected output
