Hi @HomesickSurfer 

 

This was a fun one, here's an approach that should work:

  1. Multirow to find consecutive values
  2. Tile Tool to assign ordering of columns (grouped so the same order/ID is assigned to each repeated value)
  3. Crosstab
  4. Dynamic rename to update columns to use the winning hand value
    1. Note: You can't have columns that have the same names, so you'll see Tie, Tie2, etc.

Thank you @Luke_C 

This is perfect!  Fun challenge...

I'm good with the prefixed field names because I intend to exclude them in my table's output.

Thx so much.
