How do I add a semicolon only to the end of data?

 

Here is how the data is currently.

if the field is numeric you must create a new string column
using the formula
ToString([Field1]) + ';'
or if it is already string [Field1] + ';'

You could use the transpose Columns to Rows tool use a formula to add the semi-colon to every value and the use the transpose Rows to Columns tool to put the data back into its original format. You would need to add a Record ID tool before doing the transpose so that it doesnt loose the rows by concatenating the data together.
