and solutions

Basically there are two solutions(one that can be done with point and click and one that requires deeper M knowledge)
The point and click one splits the column on linefeed character then filters out unwanted rows

Thank you definately useful tips, but it didnt work for my file. Could not pass through the step of Grouping it by. Some more screenshots would be really helpful...
It just kept saying cant group as it cant convert one of the values... Could the issue be that there are extra blank lines in the cell? But i just remove those as "remove empty".
Sorry if it seems a simple task, but i really struggle to make this one work and it is very important report to. Im sure it should be possible to not do it manualy? :)
