I have patterns of 4 by 3 matrices, with the first column having the same corporate id.  wanted to make a 1 by 3 matrix using the corporate id as the merging column.

Hey @GarMIngle 

 

Would you be able to provide a dataset as an example to ensure we can answer your question correctly. Also when you say "Merge" what does that mean exactly? Do you want to sum the values or maybe concatenate the values?

Thanks for the questions, I managed through trial and error to get what I think I need, 

I took things in various columns and concatenate them into one row; such as

 

Office SuppliesFurnitureOffice SuppliesOffice Supplies 

Office SuppliesTechnology

 

Now I want to parse the long string as follows

 

Office Supplies,Furniture,Office Supplies,Office Supplies

Office Supplies,Technology

 

I want to use a Furniture and Technology in a formulae with another row.

Sorry as I think about my questions, I beleive the row should be column.
