I need help grouping data.
Hello everyone,
I have a column that saves the names of the people who have been assigned tasks in planner. some tasks were assigned to oliver and carlos. others individually to oliver and carlos I want to show only two names with the tasks assigned to them. What I can do? I have no idea. This is the capture as shown in my visuals
Hi Anonymous !
I believe the easiest solution in Power Query would be to split the column by delimiter, unpivot the new column to rows and then create a custom column with the name values.
Split column by delimiter: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/split-a-column-of-text-power-query-5282d425-6dd0-46ca-95bf-8e0da9539662
Unpivot columns: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/unpivot-columns-power-query-0f7bad4b-9ea1-49c1-9d95-f588221c7098
Hope it helps!
Kind regards,
