Hi Anonymous ,
The following code should work for both scenarios. It uses two Group Bys to bundle up the [ID Type]s first, then to create the value lists:
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45W8slMTs1LTlXSUTI0MjYxBdKOTs4gnlKsDrKsmbmFpQGQdnF1g8sGJBYXF+QXlQAFTEzNgGREZBSQNAJL+pdkpBYBecbGxkAysTg1HcRRio0FAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [ID_Type = _t, ID_Num = _t, ID_Issuer = _t, Ranking = _t]), groupIdType = Table.Group( Source, {"ID_Type"}, { {"ID_Num", each List.First([ID_Num]), type nullable text}, {"ID_Issuer", each List.First([ID_Issuer]), type nullable text}, {"Ranking", each List.First([Ranking]), type nullable text} } ), addGroupColumn = Table.AddColumn(groupIdType, "GroupColumn", each "Group Me"), groupGroupColumn = Table.Group( addGroupColumn, {"GroupColumn"}, { {"ID_Type", each Text.Combine(List.Distinct([ID_Type]), ";"), type nullable text}, {"ID_Num", each Text.Combine(List.Distinct([ID_Num]), ";"), type nullable text}, {"ID_Issuer", each Text.Combine(List.Distinct([ID_Issuer]), ";"), type nullable text}, {"Ranking", each Text.Combine(List.Distinct([Ranking]), ";"), type nullable text} } ) in groupGroupColumnIt changes this:
