I am looking to convert all rows and columns of a CSV file to a single field.

How might I achieve this?

Hi @ewehrmann ,

 

For that, you can use \0 as the delimiter as image below.

See if that works for you and let me know.

 

Best,

Hi @ewehrmann there are a couple of ways you could do this have mocked something up. Let me know what you think?

Hi @ewehrmann 

 

If you want the exact output that you posted, change the separator in the summarize tool in @JosephSerpis' solution from a comma to "\n"(new line)

That solution combines the columns into a single field but leave multiple rows

Thank you. This workflow combined with Dan's tweak gave me a solution.

Try with formula 

ToString(ToString([RecodID)+","+ToString([ITEM))
