Combining filtered column values in Power Query

I am not so familiar with M lang, and am straggling to solve the following problem in Power Query:

 

I have the table 

TABLE1

DateAttributeValue
2023-02-01AAA1
2023-02-01AAA2
2023-02-01BBB1
2023-02-02AAA3
2023-02-03BBB2
2023-02-03BBB3
2023-02-04CCC1
2023-02-06AAA4

 

I need to combine (with ";" as separator) values in cells indicated above in italic so the only one row exist for every Date/Attribute combination. 

In other words, the desired table should looks like this:

 

DateAttributeValue
2023-02-01AAA1; A2
2023-02-01BBB1
2023-02-02AAA3
2023-02-03BBB2; B3
2023-02-04CCC1
2023-02-06AAA4

 

Please help!

Hi,

You have to group by

serpiva64_1-1676656507687.png

then add a custom column

Table.ToList( Table.RemoveColumns([Count],{"Date", "Attribute"}))

serpiva64_2-1676656534293.png

then extract values

serpiva64_3-1676656603731.png

select your delimiter

serpiva64_4-1676656650315.png

and remove column count

Thank you very much, @serpiva64 !!!

It turns much easier then I've tried to code with nested M functions.

Thanks once again for very helpful reply.
