Hi,

 

I have a large dataset with data like this:

 

Delegate1Delegate2Delegate3Delegate4Delegate5Delegate6Delegate7Delegate8Delegate9
Louis.Stevens@hotmail.com       
Louis.Stevens@hotmail.com   Louis.Stevens@hotmail.com  
Louis.Stevens@hotmail.com     Louis.Stevens@hotmail.comLouis.Stevens@hotmail.com
Louis.Stevens@hotmail.com     Louis.Stevens@hotmail.comLouis.Stevens@hotmail.com

How can I shrink this dataset to something like this:

 

Delegate1Delegate2Delegate3Delegate4Delegate5Delegate6Delegate7Delegate8Delegate9
Louis.Stevens@hotmail.com       
Louis.Stevens@hotmail.comLouis.Stevens@hotmail.com      
Louis.Stevens@hotmail.comLouis.Stevens@hotmail.comLouis.Stevens@hotmail.com     
Louis.Stevens@hotmail.comLouis.Stevens@hotmail.comLouis.Stevens@hotmail.com     

 

 

please note that this email could be any email, not just the one person.

 

Thanks.

Something like this? You have some columns that you want to keep

 

INPUT

OUTPUT

thank you, this seems to be working! although how come only some of the rows are collapsing? 

I see have some delegates with a null in between like so :

 

Delegate1Delegate2Delegate3
Louis.Stevens@hotmail.comLouis.Stevens@hotmail.com

 

i am seeing this with delegates 1 , 2 and 3 fields.

Be sure that you have Delegate columns only from the left on this join:

@Felipe_Ribeir0i  did that? could it be anything else? I have 11 delegate columns in actuality. and my last column is always filled (before your workflow addition).  sigh.

@wonka1234 Its possible for you to isolate some rows with all columns showing this problem and share here?
