Concat Column into one Row

[bryan_ram2613]

Hi all,

I have a poll dataset that is formatted in a somewhat annoying way. How can I concat all of the following responses in the "When choosing a new physician, what information is most important to you?" column into one row separated by a comma. 

Source	Doctor ID	Device	When choosing a new physician, what information is most important to you
https://www.thechristhospital.com/physician-details?Provider=C21Q0VFETR	C21Q0VFETR	desktop	Practice location(s)
			Education
			Reviews/ratings
			Insurances accepted
			Years of experience
			Accepting new patients

Thanks for the assistance!

Hi @bryan_ram2613 

Summarize tool has a concatenation function to do what I think you're looking for.

Select your field you wish to concatenate and add using the option shown here

In your concatenated field, use these options to specify how to concatenating.

@jrgoand @nitinsnow  I have tried this but I am running into errors because I have the same use case happening multiple times throughout the data set and it groups the blanks rows together. I attached an example file.

See if the attached solution solves the issue. The YXDB you provided looks like it used a record as the headers so i copied the results into a text input tool using the default headers, i.e. Field1, Field2, etc...

Multi-Row tool is used to fill down the ID in the first column which is used as the grouping field within the Summarize tool. for the other fields, i just kept the FIRST and then concatenated that last field.

Hi @bryan_ram2613 ,

Did some data prep and created the solution.

I hope this helps.
