Dear collegue, this is not what is described in the video titel, instead of combine "rows", it should be named in combine "columns", by the way. Cause I was looking for something which combines 2 rows and I'am getting this :)
@ExcelOffTheGrid
2 жыл бұрын
Sorry, I disagree. This technique is combining rows. So I believe it is the right description. ‘Merge columns’ is a different feature which already exists.
Thanks for the video, i'm trying to use this method with Power Bi, but, after this when I split the equipment column by the delimiter into their own columns and the data is not equal as in one user doesn't have the same amount of equipment as the other it's messing up the report with invalid data in some columns, any ideas? thanks
Thank you Mark. That's a great help! What would you do if you get more than 10K lines consolidated in your new sheet? How to show all lines or split into another sheet? Many thanks

Hi Mark greetengs from Colombia... I have a question.. If I Want concat all values in a cell and after to creat a variable it's posible? For example I have a column named DATA 1 2 3 4 and I want to build a variable named Data_number with all number and to add simple quotes... I would need this result... Data_number ('1','2','3','4')
Now how do you make the separator a "tab" so have two rows in one text box?
Its really awesome, but could you do the same things with dates also? its not working
@ExcelOffTheGrid
2 жыл бұрын
I think you would need to convert the dates to text. It uses a Text.Combine() function, so by definition it would need to be text.
Hi Mark, Do you know how can I transform, for example, 3 columns into 1 column and the results are one under the other. Like this: Column 1 / Column 2 / Column 3 A B C To Column 1 A B C Thanks.
@ExcelOffTheGrid
3 жыл бұрын
Try this: 1) Merge the columns using a delimiter 2) Then edit the M code do the delimiter you've chosen is changed to #(lf)
How do you do the exact same thing, but with numbers instead of text? I want to combine in one cell a series of number values for a person, separated by a comma and space.

Doing it this way, it sums the numbers (which I don't want) and making the changes in the code like you have done gives me an error.

Change the data type to text before applying the Group By step.
I want combine only single cell which have different value, if cells have same value, it pass? the cell results do not show duplicate values
@ExcelOffTheGrid
2 жыл бұрын
Using the scenario from the video… create a concatenated column with the First Name, Last Name, Equipment and Equipment Attribute columns. Remove duplicates to create a list of unique items. Then follow the rest of the video.
Can we make the combination go into separate column but same row? If "justin" bought an apple, a laptop and a mouse, I dont want all these to be in one column but to become three different column titled "item 1," "item 2", "item 3". Is that possible?

In Power Query, you can either (a) Pivot the data in or (b) enter into a single cell, then Split using a delimiter. Both provide different layouts and may provide what you need :-)
