    Hello Anonymous 

     

    check out this code. Uses Table.Group to group data by question number. The function applied combines text from column2 and column1

    let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMrdQ0lEKLE0tLsnMz1OK1YlWKkmtKFFIBIqCeSEgXhIKLxnGM7dE0qsA5MGVOKJowMaLBQA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t, Column2 = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type text}, {"Column2", type text}}),
    #"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Changed Type","",null,Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"Column1", "Column2"}),
    GroupNumbers = Table.Group
    (
        #"Replaced Value",
        {"Column1"},
        {
            {
                "AllRows",
                each Text.Combine(_[Column2], " ") & " - " & Text.Combine(List.Skip(_[Column1],1)," ")
            }
        },
        GroupKind.Local,
        (group,current)=> try if Value.Is(Number.From(current[Column1]),type number) then 1 else 0 otherwise 0
    )
in
    GroupNumbers

     

    Copy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works.

Hello Anonymous 

 

what is the logic to connect the rows of text? What is your final output looking like?

Hi Jimmi, 

 

There is one report using text data from second column. Now I need to connect this text data with "suggested actions" in the first column. This needs to be separate query and I will use connections. 

 

Numbers and emty rows need to go away as it came with the EXCEL - Cannot get rid of them without loosing text in the first column.
