Append title at the end of a string

Hi,

 

I have a column with same fields under different titles. I want to append the title names so as to differentiate them.

For example:

Input                               

ID
First Class
A
B
C
D
Second Class
A
B
C

Output

ID
A-First Class
B-First Class
C-First Class
D-First Class
A- Second Class
B-Second Class
C-Second Class

Is there a way to remove the headers and append it to the fields instead?

 

Thank you

Hi @rajputakansha ,

 

@meeravijayan2011  excellent solution . 

 

If there a  logic/rule to differentiate  heading  and data  ?   

Example  :  data is 1 character  and  heading contains  'Class'

Thank you for your reply. It works great! But I am trying to make it more dynamic. For example:

 

Input 

IDS
West Chase
ABC
A7%RC
Host22
Swift#
Hilton Ranch
ABC
A7%RC
Host22
Date64Idea

 

Output

IDs
ABC- West Chase
A7%RC- West Chase
Host22- West Chase
Swift#- West Chase
ABC-Hilton Ranch
A7%RC-Hilton Ranch
Host22-Hilton Ranch
Date64Idea-Hilton Ranch

 

Appreciate your suggestions!

Thanks

To make it bit easier, there is a null field before beginning of new header.

IDS
null
West Chase
ABC
A7%RC
Host22
Swift#
null
Hilton Ranch
ABC
A7%RC
Host22

Hi @rajputakansha ,

If your data  follows  the  rule   "null followed by header "  this works .
