Hi @KketanPaliwal30 ,

 

If the number of columns is constant, i.e they remain C1, C2, C3 and C4 you can just use a formula tool:-

 

[Output]=[C1]+','+[C2]+','+[C3]+','+[C4]

 

Hope this helps.

 

 

Best,

Jagdeesh

@KketanPaliwal30 ,

 

I just realized the above formula would add ',' to the string even if it is null.

 

Please find attached an alternative solution that takes care of that.

 

Best,

Hi @KketanPaliwal30 

 

Here's a solution that will work for any number of columns:

 

  1. Add record ID for tracking
  2. Transpose data
  3. Filter out empty cells
  4. Concatenate remaining
  5. Join back
