Hi Anonymous - see the following M code. It turns this:
into this:
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjQ3MzUzUNJRcs/PT89JVQjIyM9LVYrVQZIJzyxKTVHwSE1MKQBJFsNlzU1w6QPLhAY76TorOGckFqVn5qUrOCcm5SBUmBoDVfhkpmeU5IEl8ahyyi9OVQjOL81LCS7ILyrB5hKwOseCAqBDHDOLCvJTilFUxQIA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Order ID" = _t, Product = _t]), #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group( Source, {"Order ID"}, { {"Products", each _[Product] } } ), #"Extracted Values" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Grouped Rows", {"Products", each Text.Combine(List.Transform(_, Text.From), " - "), type text}) in #"Extracted Values"The key is in the Group By statement, I am grouping by ID, then I create a list with the each _[Product] statement.
Then I simply expand that to values through the UI and type in the " - " delimiter.
1) In Power Query, select New Source, then Blank Query
2) On the Home ribbon, select "Advanced Editor" button
3) Remove everything you see, then paste the M code I've given you in that box.
4) Press Done
5) See this article if you need help using this M code in your model.
