Merge two rows based on multiple column values
- 6 years ago
Hello skutovicsakos ,
check out this solution. It works with grouping and pivoting and its not dynamic. If only one row its found its deleted, with 2 rows works fine, if 3 rows are found they are deleted as well, because the program is not able to handle it.
let Quelle = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlTSUUoE4YKCnFQg7QHEboZGxkqxOhDJJFySRlCdSYl5QAhk+AMxikx+UWJeeipUxtBU18QcLp2ErhEqHQsA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [ID = _t, Point = _t, Field = _t, Type = _t, Value = _t]), #"Geänderter Typ" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Quelle,{{"ID", Int64.Type}, {"Point", type text}, {"Field", type text}, {"Type", type text}, {"Value", type text}}), PivotTable = (tTable as table) => let DeleteNotNeededColumns = Table.SelectColumns ( tTable, {"Point", "Value"} ), AddIndex = Table.AddIndexColumn ( DeleteNotNeededColumns, "Index", 1, 1 ), CreateRecordColumn = Table.AddColumn ( AddIndex, "Complete Row", each _ ), KeepIndexAndCompleteColumn = Table.SelectColumns ( CreateRecordColumn, {"Index", "Complete Row"} ), PivotColumn = Table.Pivot ( Table.TransformColumnTypes ( KeepIndexAndCompleteColumn, {{"Index", type text}}, "de-DE" ), List.Distinct ( Table.TransformColumnTypes ( KeepIndexAndCompleteColumn, {{"Index", type text}}, "de-DE" )[Index] ), "Index", "Complete Row" ), ExpandFirstColumn = Table.ExpandRecordColumn ( PivotColumn, "1", {"Point", "Value"}, {"1.Point", "1.Value"} ), ExpandSecondColumn = Table.ExpandRecordColumn ( ExpandFirstColumn, "2", {"Point", "Value"}, {"2.Point", "2.Value"} ) in ExpandSecondColumn, GroupTable = Table.Group ( #"Geänderter Typ" , {"ID", "Field", "Type"}, { {"AllRows", each _, type table [ID=number, Point=text, Field=text, Type=text, Value=text]}, {"RowCount", each Table.RowCount(_), type number} } ), FilterTable = Table.SelectRows ( GroupTable, each ([RowCount] = 2) ), ApplyCustomFunction = Table.AddColumn ( FilterTable, "NewColumn", each PivotTable([AllRows]) ), DeleteColumns = Table.RemoveColumns(ApplyCustomFunction,{"AllRows", "RowCount"}), ExpandColumns = Table.ExpandTableColumn(DeleteColumns, "NewColumn", {"1.Point", "1.Value", "2.Point", "2.Value"}, {"1.Point", "1.Value", "2.Point", "2.Value"}) in ExpandColumnsIf this post helps or solves your problem, please mark it as solution.

The solution below will not require a custom function.
let Quelle = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlTSUUoE4YKCnFQg7QHEboZGxkqxOhDJJFySRlCdSYl5QAhk+AMxikx+UWJeeipUxtBU18QcLp2ErhEqHQsA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [ID = _t, Point = _t, Field = _t, Type = _t, Value = _t]), #"Geänderter Typ" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Quelle,{{"ID", Int64.Type}, {"Point", type text}, {"Field", type text}, {"Type", type text}, {"Value", type text}}), #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Geänderter Typ", {"ID", "Field", "Type"}, { {"Point", each List.First([Point]), type text}, {"Value", each List.First([Value]), type text}, {"AllData", each _, type table [ID=number, Point=text, Field=text, Type=text, Value=text]}}), #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Grouped Rows", each Table.RowCount([AllData])=2 ), Transform = Table.TransformColumns(#"Filtered Rows",{{"AllData", each _{1}, type record}}), #"Expanded AllData" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(Transform, "AllData", {"Point", "Value"}, {"D_Point", "D_Value"}), #"Reordered Columns" = Table.ReorderColumns(#"Expanded AllData",{"ID", "Point", "Field", "Type", "Value", "D_Point", "D_Value"}) in #"Reordered Columns"

Hello Jimmy801
Physically there are no more than 3 rows with those values.
Also, after the tranformation the Point column's value should be always "a" and D_Point "b".
