Applying pivot and combining few of its columns

[vt_excel]

1. Have a dataset below, when I apply pivot I want that last three columsn get combined as in final result, is it possible?

Customer Name	Manufacturer	Item	Order Date	Bill Date	Amount
Robert	Newway	Apple	15-07-22	22-07-22	1500
Jass	Highend	Orange	10-12-21	17-12-21	4000
Robert	Newway	Apple	07-01-20	14-01-20	1500
Paul	xxx	Pear	02-07-22	09-07-22	2999
Jane	xxx	Banana	10-07-22	22-07-22	2999
Jane	xxx	Banana	01-03-22	08-03-22	5
Jane	xxx	Banana	01-12-21	11-12-21	5

2. Final result, should be something like this:

Customer Name	Manufacturer	Item	Consolidated data
Robert	Newway	Apple	order: 15-07-22, bill: 22-07-22, qty: 1500 order: 07-01-20, bill: 14-01-20, qty: 1500
Jass	Highend	Orange	order: 10-12-21, bill: 17-12-21, qty: 4000
Paul	xxx	Pear	order: 02-07-22, bill: 09-07-22, qty: 2999
Jane	xxx	Banana	order: 10-07-22, bill: 22-07-22, qty: 2999 order: 01-03-22, bill: 08-03-22, qty: 5 order: 01-12-21, bill: 11-12-21, qty: 5

@vt_excel That could be with Power Pivot. Demonstrated in the attached file.

@Riny_van_Eekelen 

Thanks for inputs.

1. When i try to put filter on pivot table, and arrange in ascending order for either name, manufacturer or item, consolidated columns goes away

before filter

After filter 

2. ALso whats the formula applied to combined item?

@vt_excel That doesn't happen for me.

In Power Pivot, I added a calculated column that combines the three relevant columns and then I created a DAX measure that allows you to include a text in the value field of the pivot table. Press this button

on the Power Pivot ribbon to get into Power Pivot / Data Model.

Now, if you are unfamiliar with Power Pivot and DAX, it's going to be challenge to just "hop on" and expect that everything will be clear at once.

@Riny_van_Eekelen Hi

I tried similiar thing, but I got error this, can you please advise.

Attached is excel where I am working

@vt_excel It seems you are using an older version of PQ that doesn't recognize the UNICHAR function.

Replace UNICHAR(10) with the following key sequence:

quotation mark,  alt-Enter, quotation mark.

The measure will than look like this:

Now you can drag the measure "d" into the Values field of the Pivot table. Make sure that the part of the pivot table that holds this measure is set to Wrap Text.

@vt_excel 
DAX doesn't support CHAR() functions, and for not-beta doesn't support UNICHAR(). Try to Alt+Enter here

d:=VAR textCombined = CONCATENATEX(Table1, Table1[consolidate], "
") RETURN IF(HASONEVALUE(Table1[Customer Name]), textCombined, "")

in concatenatex() between "". RETURN is adjusted to to show all texts combined in Grand Total.

Don't forget to wrap text in cell formatting for PivotTable

Please see attached.
