The problem is the following:
I need to match two tables, I'm using Left Outer Join.
Second table can have 0,1,2 or more matches.
If I use expand after matching the columns are duplicated.
What I want is to extract matching result (Table) to a single text string.
For example, table1:
ID name
1 mark
2 jack
3 robert
Table2:
ID profession phone
1 health
1 cleaning
2 manager
after join by using ID
ID name joined
1 mark health,cleaning
2 jack manager
3 robert null
