8 years agothank you so much, that was really useful i learned a lot, unfortunately once again trying ot protect the content of the data ive understated the requirements;
1) you can get more than one field on the same row so when you combine columns you have up to 4 columns on the same row with lots of gaps between
2) there are hundreds of these templates that need to be combined, so doing a group by on the field name wont work because you wont know which form it came from
