How to concatenate Product Names with the same Product IDs.

Hi,

 

I can’t figure how to do this in Power Query. I have a table with two columns, Product_ID and Product_Name. It turns out that in some cases I have multiple Product_Name s for a given Product_ID.  What I want to do is convert these duplicates so Product_Name contains the concatenation of the product names. 

 

For example

 

Product_IDProduct_Name
1Apple
1Peach
2Cherry
1Orange

To

Product_IDProduct_Name
1Apple_Peach_Orange
2Cherry

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

 

-Wes

See the working here - Open a blank query - Home - Advanced Editor - Remove everything from there and paste the below code to test

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlTSUXIsKMhJVYrVgfACUhOTM8A8IyDPOSO1qKgSLulflJiXDlQbCwA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Product_ID = _t, Product_Name = _t]),
    #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(Source, {"Product_ID"}, {{"Count", each Text.Combine([Product_Name],"_"), type text}})
in
    #"Grouped Rows"
