How to concatenate two records (rows) into a single record (row)

Please see attached. I currently have this output summarized by all the applicable fields you see.

The first two are duplicate (teacher ID and date) for multiple rows: I am trying to determine which resources are commonly requested together and so my output thus far has resulted in multiple rows per teacher, date.

What I would like to do is take the 2-5 rows per teacher/date and concatenate the resource category into a single record/row by teacher ID/date (i.e. Supplies, Technology) vs Supplies in one row and Technology in the next row.

I tried using a Crosstab tool without success, but maybe I'm just missing something.

Appreciate the help!

Check out the summerize tool. Group by your variables you want as columns then use the concatenation function on the field you wish to collapse into a single cell.

@BenMoss,

I've offered @JGalle0121 a private webex session if he/she is available to review their challenge. In looking at the data, there is more than meets the eye in the requirements.

Cheers,

Thanks @BenMoss! This worked perfectly, I added some additional functionality as well to get common concatenations across the board. I've given you a star for feedback, appreciate the assist.

@MarqueeCrew Thanks for offering to WebEx, that's extremely generous of you. I've given you a star for feedback as well
