Generate column in a dataset based on count stored in previous column

Hi all,

 

Can you give me a hand with the following task?

 

Considering a simple table,

 

IDCount
A2
B1
C3
D4

 

I would like to create a third column with the concatenation of the ID and the number of counts, separated by commas. The output should look like this,

 

IDCountID-Count
A2A-1, A-2
B1B-1
C3C-1, C-2, C-3
D4D-1, D-2, D-3, D-4

 

Cheers!

Hey @omar_velor,

 

You can generate a row for each count-unit and then concatenate it again. See the attached WF.
