Convert Rows to column and group in new column

Hi all, 

 

I'm struggling with following scenario :

 

Table1

Entry No.Document CodeDocument Reference
1B0012345677
2B00AER445ER
3C00IUYYN/1225
1C00DEEFFD25
1B004545878787
3C00FFROIIS/445
3B0044558877

 

What i want to achieve is one row per entry no. and combination of document code and document reference in one column per entry no.

 

Expected result

 

Entry NoDocument + Reference
1B00 : 12345677 & 4545878787 - C00 : DEEFFD25
2B00 : AER445ER
3B00 : 44558877 - C00 : IUYYN/1225 & FFROIIS/445

 

An additional complixity is to build following string B00 : 12345677 & 4545878787 - C00 : DEEFFD25

 

Can anybody help me ?

 

Thanks in advance

Hi,

And a Power Query solution

let
Source = YourSource,
Type = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Document Reference", type text}}),
Group = Table.Group(
Type,
{"Entry No."},
{{"Data", each Table.Group(
_,
{"Document Code"},
{{"Reference", each Text.Combine([Document Reference], " & ")}}
)
}}),
#"Doc+Ref" = Table.AddColumn(Group, "Document + Reference", each
Text.Combine(
List.Transform(
List.Zip({[Data][Document Code],[Data][Reference]}),
each _{0} &" : "& _{1}),
" - "))
in
#"Doc+Ref"

Stéphane

Both solutions works like a charm !

Thanks a lot
