Concatenate Data with conditions

Hi all, 

 

I have a dataset that I'm having some issues with, within the screenshot below the target state of the data is shown marked in green. 

 

Where my issue occurs is when I have multiple subscription IDs from column 6. The text to columns tool has been used to break the data out by their column volume, which is a comma, but I want to be able to do is rejoin the subscription IDs and bring the other columns back into line so I can one set of transformation to the column headers etc later on in the workflow process. 

 

I have attached a copy of the data below also.

Hello

I don't understand what you have as an input, what you want and what you get. Perhaps someone will, but maybe you can give more details.

Hi Zok, 

 

The rows that are coloured green is the desired target state for all rows. 

 

The bottom two rows have multiple subscription IDs that I would like to concatenate into the first row, which would then bring the other columns into line for further processing.

I've also attached what my desired outcome is, to remove any doubts.

since the issue is due to the text to column tool. did you mind to share the data before that?

because you can change the delimiter:

  1. add a formula tool, to replace ",cf_" to ",|cf_"
  2. text to columns to split by "|"

*if first few column not contains "cf_", split them first.
