How to shape and aggregate values on a column

Hello, I have a column with TEXT DATA that represents production numbers.

The format is:

21/00001

21/00002

21/00003

.............

 

Sometimes the production order is splitted in two different orders and the DB returns a different code:

21/00002

21/00002_02

 

It's correct to keep the order splitted but for some report I also need to aggregate such orders.

I would like to create a new column where splitted orders have the same code so I could aggregate them. Therefore I would like to have two columns:

 

ORIGINALE COLUMN

21/00002

21/00002_02

 

NEW COLUMN

21/00002

21/00002

 

Do you have any suggestion?
