Was trying to do this in a Power BI transform... this is exactly what I needed. Thank you very much!!
That the great thing about Power Query and Power Pivot, while not exactly the same, 99.9% works on both Excel and Power BI.
@@ExcelOffTheGrid You should start a Power BI (M) channel 😁
@@whyskyd Maybe a Power BI channel is one for the future. I’m not too bad with M and DAX, but the visuals always confuse me. 😀
this is what i've been looking for, thankyou very much sir
You are most welcome 😊
Thank you!!!

No worries, I’m glad you can use it.
Thank you so much! :)
You're welcome!
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 :)
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.
Nice one!
Thank you! Cheers!
Amazing! Thanks!
My please, I hope you can put it to good use.
Great... Effective thing learnt today on excel..

英語は分かりませんが、とても理解しました。ありがとうございます。
Even though you don’t understand English, I’m glad you were able to follow the video 😀
Fantastic, thank you
You’re welcome 👍
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
Excellent video and content
Thanks John :-)
Realy fantastic
Thank you! Cheers!
Man you saved my day big time
Thanks - glad I could help.

Good stuff, Thank You.
Holy smoke.... I've been looking for this for hours due to issues I'm experiencing pulling data from an old MS Access Db within which some muppet has created LOOKUP fields in a table. Thanks so much!
You’re welcome, glad it helped. 😀

Hi, Thank you for the video.
I am looking for something quite opp. I have comma-separated values in a column, need to map one to one with key ID. Please help out, its an urgent requirement.
Thank you well in advance.
Bravo et merci
Thanks you 😀
Thanks so much, this is perfect solution for the challenge I was facing! Such a plot twist when he was like "we're going to select "sum", knowing full well it will result in an error"
Ha ha ha - I like to keep you all on you toes :-)
you all probably dont care but does someone know a way to log back into an Instagram account?
I was dumb forgot my login password. I love any tricks you can give me!
@Kendall Lewis instablaster =)
Nice Video 👍
Thank you 👍
Great video dude..! 💐💐👏
Thanks. I'm glad it helped you :-)
helpful tnx:)
You’re welcome.
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 - I'm not really sure I understand the question. Can you give a few more details about the scenario.
Great
Thanks 😁
Was looking for this.. Will try it soon
Great news! Hopefully it worked for you 😀
@@ExcelOffTheGrid no I don't have the latest version of excel.. 😢😢 I have 2007 😭😭😭..
@@ExcelOffTheGrid OMG this worked.. Uve saved me so much time with this hack.. Can't thank you enough.. I suddenly feel like a genius
@@salvi2606 Great news - enjoy the extra time you’ve saved. 😀
@@ExcelOffTheGrid yes going to browse through ur other lessons to learn more..
Awesome video and explanation, the backward version of your first one! haha!
Exactly.
The solution is frustrating because it requires editing the M code to apply a function which should be part of the UI.
@@ExcelOffTheGrid I agree, it should be 😁🙏

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')
Thanks for the amazing tutorial.
How we can do opposite what you did?
You mean like this:

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.
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)
1:15 Merge
2:00 Group By
Thanks for this. How to do the reverse?
Check out this video:
th-cam.com/video/eC_GSMBZWPE/w-d-xo.html
Now how do you make the separator a "tab" so have two rows in one text box?
king
😀
Thank you so much!!! Could you please do it using R o Python?
Sorry, Python and R aren’t my thing.
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 :-)
@@ExcelOffTheGrid Thank you!
An error occurred in the ‘Transform File’ query. Expression.Error: The key didn't match any rows in the table. is the error i keep getting
I have an address book in an excel sheet that has got a little messed up and wondered if this could help? The table has 15 columns (first name, last name, full name, company etc). The full name column is unique to each person but unfortunately there are duplicate rows for this and even worse, some of those rows have differing data from each other. If there was some way to group all rows with the same "full name" into a single row, and then have each column in that row contain all the unique values seperated by a delimiter such as ";" that would make my job of untangling this unholy mess so much easier. Hope that makes sense? Any help massively welcomed!
Essentially what you've done here but repeated across multiple columns
Not to worry - with a lot of trial and error i figured it out! What a truly awesome tool! Thanks for the videos!
Great work for sorting it out yourself. Broken data is much worse that messy data, as it doesn't always follow any logical structure. Well done.
as a input I get duplicate values also not a unique rows only
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.
