@mhmmd_srf If you post your data as text I can be more specific to your data but you can use this basic technique:

let
    Source = Table.FromRows({
        {1, "A"},
        {1, "B"},
        {2, "A"},
        {2, "B"},
        {3, "C"},
        {4, "D"},
        {5, "E"},
        {6, "X"},
        {6, "Y"},
        {7, "X"},
        {7, "Y"}
    }, {"Value", "Value.1"}),

    Grouped = Table.Group(Source, {"Value"}, {
        {"Value.1 Combined", each Text.Combine(List.Transform([Value.1], Text.From), ","), type text}
    })
in
    Grouped

I hope this information helps. Please do let us know if you have any further queries.

one question.. why change type is required?

Hi @mhmmd_srf ,

The screenshot that you provided in your first response, the columns "mat_nbr" and "plant" has data type "text" and column "qty" type as "INT". Based on this i have changed my M code. It's  optional , as per your requirement you can change the datatype.

 

I hope this information helps. Please do let us know if you have any further queries.

 

Regards,

Dinesh
