It is possible to make this transformation in QueryEditor? Nearly a split column-transformation backward. Thank you for your feedback.

I can not share sample data because i get an error. 


I have one table with dublicated rows. Dublicated becuase one id have different categories. And the goal is to combine the dublicated rows in one with the format you see in my first post. I hope this is understandable.

The challenge is like this:

This is the solution. Anyway, thank you for your help.

@Anonymous ,The information you have provided is not making the problem clear to me. Can you please explain with an example.
Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.
Appreciate your Kudos.

The logic is that I have n-IDs and one ID can have n Categories (1-n)...

 

I have dublicate rows and want to combine these rows where the ID have more than one Category
