Need Help with Excel Spreadsheet

Copper Contributor

I am trying to find client names (Column B) that are associated with the same jobs numbers that are column C and paste all the names in a new column.

For Example:

Jon Doe - B20-999A

Jim Doe - B19-521B

Tim Low - B20-999A

I would like to add "Jon Doe and Tim Low" in one cell because they have the same job number.

Small portion of my spreadsheet:

1Aaron JohnsonB20-674A
B20-674Aa
B21-281A
2Aaron NormanB21-320A
3Adam ScannellB20-608R
B20-608Rr
4Addie ShaferB20-715Bb
5Alex BergeronB22-014Bb
6Alex BridgesB22-455A
B22-455Aa
B22-455B
B22-455Bb
7Amy PaddockB21-114A
B21-114Aa
B21-114B
B21-114Bb
B21-114Cc
8Amy SkuzaB20-163A
B20-163B
B22-449B

 

Thank you!

A solution could be Power Query. In the attached file you can enter data in the dynamic table in columns A and B. Then you can click in any cell of the green table and right-click with the mouse. Then you can select refresh to update the query.

Could you please clarify on which Excel version/platform you are and is here

multiline text or we have 3 rows with texts?

Version 2211.
Multiline text by typing the job# and hold ALT key and press enter.
Thank you. Is there a way you can convert the Query Text to English just in case I have to edit something please.

@BusterCLARK 

You are welcome. I've translated the query steps into english. Everything else should translate into your language when you open the Power Query Editor.

Thank you. Perhaps that's 365 Current Channel. When this could work

 

getJobs = LAMBDA(str,
    UNIQUE(
        TEXTBEFORE(
            TEXTSPLIT(TEXTJOIN(CHAR(10), , str), , CHAR(10)),
            "-"
        )
    )
);

isJobHere = LAMBDA(job, str, SUM(--(getJobs(str) = job)));

jobNames = LAMBDA(job, tbl,
    TEXTJOIN(
        ", ",
        ,
        BYROW(
            tbl,
            LAMBDA(rw,
                IF(
                    isJobHere(job, INDEX(rw, 1, 2)),
                    INDEX(rw, 1, 1),
                    ""
                )
            )
        )
    )
);

assignedOnJob = LAMBDA(tbl,
    LET(
        jobs, getJobs(CHOOSECOLS(tbl, 2)),
        names, BYROW(jobs, LAMBDA(rw, jobNames(rw, tbl))),
        VSTACK({"Job", "Names"}, HSTACK(jobs, names))
    )
);

 

assuming job is text before "-". 

create temp table aa as
select Column1,udf_trim(Column2,'"') Column2 from split_data_textjoin_by_column2;
cli_split_data~aa~\s~Column2;
select Column2,group_concat(Column1) from aasplit group by Column2;

Another Power Query option (attached)

 

let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    SplitByLineFeed = Table.ExpandListColumn(
        Table.TransformColumns(Source,
            {"Job", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter("#(lf)", QuoteStyle.Csv),
                let
                    itemType = (type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]
                in
                    type {itemType}
            }
        ),
        "Job"
    ),
    GroupedJobCount = Table.Group(SplitByLineFeed, {"Job"},
        {"JOB_COUNT", each Table.RowCount(_), Int64.Type}
    ),
    FilteredJobCount = Table.SelectRows(GroupedJobCount, each [JOB_COUNT] > 1),
    RemovedJobCount = Table.RemoveColumns(FilteredJobCount,{"JOB_COUNT"}),
    MergedTables = Table.NestedJoin(
        RemovedJobCount, {"Job"},
        SplitByLineFeed, {"Job"},
        "COMMON", JoinKind.Inner
    ),
    ConcatClients = Table.AddColumn(MergedTables, "Clients", each
        Text.Combine([COMMON][Client], ", "), type text
    ),
    RemovedColumn = Table.RemoveColumns(ConcatClients,{"COMMON"})
in
    RemovedColumn

Again, I'm not sure the job is like "B20-674A", not "B20". Based on the sample within the text of initial post.

@BusterCLARK 

Here's my entry:

'Header to be applied
Header
={"ID", "Name"}

'Dynamic range for ID column
IDCol
=LET(c, Sheet2!$C$1:$C$10000, nonblank, COUNTA(c), TAKE(c, nonblank))

'Dynamic range for Name Column
NameCol
=LET(b, Sheet2!$B$1:$B$10000, nonblank, COUNTA(b), TAKE(b, nonblank))

'Split IDs on carriage return and stack.
IDStack(a, v)
=LET(split, TEXTSPLIT(v, , CHAR(10)), VSTACK(a, split))

'Create a new ID column
NewIDCol
=DROP(REDUCE("", IDCol, IDStack), 1)

'Resize Name Column based on how many carriage returns are in ID Col for a given name.
NStack(a, v)
=VSTACK(a, EXPAND(v, ROWS(TEXTSPLIT(XLOOKUP(v, NameCol, IDCol, ""), , CHAR(10))), , v))

'Put together a new Name Column
NewNameCol
=DROP(REDUCE("", NameCol, NStack), 1)

'The final stack.
FStack(a, v)
=LET(f, FILTER(NewNameCol, NewIDCol = v), VSTACK(a, HSTACK(v, TEXTJOIN(", ", , f))))

'sheet level formula
=REDUCE(Header,UNIQUE(NewIDCol),FStack)

 

@SergeiBaklan 

I'll be glad to fix my mistake but I don't see where it is, or I misunderstood what's expected

Let's see what @BusterCLARK has to say...

@Lorenzo 

Perhaps I'm wrong, will see
