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- "The 2 records must be consecutive in the Source Table/file (otherwise I don't see how you're going to resolve this...)"
Yes. These are two consecutive records in the master data file that I'm working on.
"The 2nd partial record is "added" to the 1st available location in the previous record"
Kindly educate me on how to achieve that in Power Query
So you're basically saying the report looks like this:
am I understanding it correctly?
Yea_So Thank you for your suggestion. But this is not how I would like the data to be.
The solution that Riny and L.z have come up with is what I'm after.
Perhaps I wasn't able to define the problem correctly.
Thank you for your input.
