Build JSON grouped by ID

Hi, I am trying to build a JSON file with a bit of complexity included. It sounds so easy to me but I can't work it out somehow. I would like to group by an id the JSON.

 

If you look at the following table:

If would like to group it by the id and have an output like this:

HDA_Hans_1-1632330021501.png

 

Has anyone an idea how to solve this?

 

Demo data is included here in the attached "example_alteryx.csv.

 

I have also converted it on https://www.convertcsv.com/csv-to-json.htm and it converted exactly as I wanted it using the "CSV to Keyed JSON". See the file convertcsv(1).json.txt.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Hans

Hi @HDA_Hans 

 

Default JSON Build tool doesnt give your expected output. Here is how you can do it.

Hi @atcodedog5 fantastic, thanks for your quick reply and this is indeed a typical hidden gem in Alteryx. I never new you could specify how to concatenate in the summarize tool. Thanks so much!
