Merging Rows in Power Query
SumairChughtai Perhaps like in the attached file. I assumed that the raw looks like in the blue table. The Power Query output is in the green table, using only standard UI commands.

When you say:
Need to learn how to merge a row in data table when a record is broken into two rows
I don't see that in your sample file
(looking at Transaction number and Reference fields/columns),
so in what context does the above statement refer to?
cheers

I would like to merge them as in the attached excel file.
The red font indicates what the data is in its original form.
The yellow highlighted is how I want the data to end up as one complete record.
Thank you for your interest in the problem.

The kind of issue that definitively requires > 1 example... Put together something (attached) with what you provided + added a couple of extra broken records
NB: When a [Transaction Number] is broken as 2 records (what you gave us with: when a record is broken into two rows)
- The 2 records must be consecutive in the Source Table/file (otherwise I don't see how you're going to resolve this...)
- The 2nd partial record is "added" to the 1st available location in the previous record
