many Rows per user to 1 row per user

ValR82

Hi all

 

am after some help, i have a very large dataset where there may be many rows per user, column A and Column B will remain unchanged across that user information (many rows).

 

I need to put all the information in the rows into 1 row per user so A, B and then C, D for all the rows that exist for that user (column A).

 

Hope this makes sense. Please see example data input attached.

 

Thank you in advance

@ValR82 Are you looking something like below?

Hi @ValR82 

You can group data by column A and Column B, and all other columns concatenate.

Thank you both for such prompt replies, i have got this far, my issue is that i need each answer to be in a separate cell in the output but some users will have 4 cars and 3 houses and some only 1 car and no house.

 

I need each response to be in its own cell and need to be able to rename the cells so that they don't just say vehicle, vehicle  1, vehicle 2 etc

 

i tried using text to columns but it wants a specific number of columns for the split - i cannot specify this.

Hi @ValR82 ,

 

Find a really simple to use test below.

 

You can edit the value of columns in text to columns as you want. I put a cleasning data tool to delete useless fields after. 

 

I hope that answers the question you are asking.

 

If not, you can post a preview of the output you want.


Let us know if it works.

 

Cheers !
