Identify Unique Name and Merge/Separate Unique Codes and Join

Hello Community,

 

I have a set of data similar to below. Now, my data has more columns than this. But the action I would like to perform is based on these three columns mainly.

 

NameCode Extracted Code   
FPO-R3TD-1000-AAJ9B,N06,1X2,7PBAVEBP,DR--B,EN-C0,HTHAH,AVEBP,DR--D,EN-C0,HTHAH
FPO-R3TD-1000-AAL0L,T65,1X1,7PBAVEBP,DR--F,EN-C2
FPO-R3TD-1000-AAL0R,T65,1X1,7PBAVEBP,DR--H,EN-C2
FPO-NCRT-9000-AAL0LDR--B,DR--F
FPO-NCRT-9000-AAL0RDR--D,DR--H

 

Now, my objective is to have only unique values in Name Field and the reason for these multiple values is due to the code field.

 

I would like to try to attain either of the two below desired outputs.

 

Output 1

 

In this scenario, I would like to identify the unique "Name" value and append all the data in the "Extracted Code" column using a ";" separator.

 

NameCode Extracted Code   
FPO-R3TD-1000-AAJ9B,N06,1X2,7PBAVEBP,DR--B,EN-C0,HTHAH,AVEBP,DR--D,EN-C0,HTHAH;AVEBP,DR--F,EN-C2;AVEBP,DR--H,EN-C2
FPO-NCRT-9000-AAL0LDR--B,DR--F;DR--D,DR--H

 

Output 2

 

In this scenario, I would like to consider the unique names as a set and then fetch all the values in "Code" column across multiple rows and identify duplicates.

 

For example. the Name field FPO-R3TD-1000-AA has codes as below

 

J9B,N06,1X2,7PB

L0L,T65,1X1,7PB

L0R,T65,1X1,7PB

 

Now, I would like to remove identical values and then create a new column with values similar to the below table.

FPO-R3TD-1000-AAJ9B,N06,1X2,7PBJ9B,N06,1X2,L0L,T65,1X1,L0R
