Hi, I need to transform data as per example below:
Table is:
+----+------+ | Id | Name | +----+------+ | 1 | aaa | | 1 | bbb | | 1 | ccc | | 1 | ddd | | 1 | eee | +----+------+
Required output:
+----+---------------------+ | Id | abc | +----+---------------------+ | 1 | aaa,bbb,ccc,ddd,eee | +----+---------------------+
How can I achieve this in power query?
Thank you in advance
Solved! Go to Solution.
Full M query (my data came from an Excel table which explains the source)
let
Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Id", Int64.Type}, {"Name", type text}}),
#"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Changed Type", {"Id"}, {{"AllRows", each _, type table [Id=number, Name=text]}}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "Names", each Table.Column([AllRows], "Name")),
#"Extracted Values" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Added Custom", {"Names", each Text.Combine(List.Transform(_, Text.From), ","), type text}),
#"Removed Other Columns" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Extracted Values",{"Id", "Names"})
in
#"Removed Other Columns"

MCSA: BI ReportingHello @bbbt123
didn't see that @edhans did already answer. As i've put down already a solution, i will post it. It uses a little leaner way.
let
Source = #table
(
{"ID","Name"},
{
{"1","aaa"}, {"1","bbb"}, {"1","ccc"}, {"1","ddd"}, {"1","eee"}
}
),
Group = Table.Group(Source, {"ID"}, {{"Combine", each Text.Combine(_[Name], ", "), type text}})
in
Group
Copy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works. If this solution fits your need, copy and past a part of it and implement it in your query.
