creating a field that contains the content of the other fields

Dear all

 

I am not sure if what I want is doable.

 

I want to combine the content of multiple data fields and create one field that will contain all.

 

for example: 

ChangeID

Title

Amount

Unique ID

Description

Month

Portfolio

BA

SE10233

rework

R20 000

NCR004

The parts are 5 mm oversize

003

Piping

extraction

 

 

Required results.

ChangeID

Title

Amount

Unique ID

Description

Month

Portfolio

BA

New Data Field

SE10233

rework

R20 000

NCR004

The outside diameter of the parts is 5 mm oversize

003

Piping

extraction

 

ChangeID: SE10233

Title: Rework

Amount: R20 000

Unique ID: NCR004

Description: The outside diameter of the parts is 5 mm oversize.

follow these instructions:

1) recordid.

2) transpose (all fields - except record id - which you use as a key field/column)

3) formula - create a new field - let's call it -NewField

write this formula

[Name]+": "+[Value]

4) summarize tool - group by recordid - concatenate NewField - set \n as your delimiter.

5) Joint this back to step your step 1 data. Join on RecordID.

Hi @Sifiso 

 

Assuming that you are combining the fields as a quick summary of the item record, and perhaps intended for some form of reporting, here's my approach with less tools also providing you with added benefit of separate text positioning and formatting, eg: bolding ChangeID:, Title:, etc.
