Hello,
I am using Jira CSV data that I query directly from the Web.
In this data, comments are added as new columns depending on the number of comments.
So if a record has 2 comments, there will be 2 columns accordingly: comments.1 and comments.2
Etc, etc.
I would like to concactenate these columns (only when not empty) for my entire dataset without knowing beforehand the number of columns (as this can vary).
Is there an easy way to do this ?
Thanks

Hi @Anonymous
Please see the attached file with a solution
Hello @Anonymous ,
this would be a solution thats its really dynamic
let
Source = #table
(
{"Comment","xy","zz","test"},
{
{"abc","f","500","5"}, {"a","c","200","3"}, {"o","d","",""}
}
),
ChangeType = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"zz", Int64.Type}}),
ToRows= Table.ToRows
(
ChangeType
),
Transform = List.Transform
(
ToRows,
(transform)=> Text.Combine(List.Select( List.Transform(transform, (transform1)=> Text.From(transform1)), each _ <> ""), ", ")
),
Combine = Table.FromColumns
(
Table.ToColumns(ChangeType)&{Transform},
Table.ColumnNames(ChangeType)&{"Concatenating"}
)
in
Combine
Copy paste this code to the advanced editor to see how the solution works. If this solution fits your need, copy and past a part of it and implement it in your query, or I could create a custom function what makes it easier to apply if you are not used that much to power query.
