Hello Emily, It's Nikita from Stiltsoft. Overall, what you are asking is not feasible with Table Transformer as per inability to work with merged cells, therefore let us try tweak&trick the display a little to move to the expected result as close as possible. Here is the query with some slight display differences, I guess the output should still be 95-97% similar: CREATE TABLE TX; INSERT INTO TX SELECT ROWNUM() as 'id','UR Key' , CONCAT_VIEW_AGGR(FORMATWIKI( 'UR - Tested by Key'+ ", ")) as 'UR - Tested by Key', 'SR Key' , 'SR - Tested by Key', 'PR Key', 'PR - Tested by Key' FROM (SELECT T1.'UR Key' , 'UR - Tested by Key', 'SR Key' , CONCAT_VIEW_AGGR(FORMATWIKI( DISTINCT T1.'SR - Tested by Key' + ", ")) as 'SR - Tested by Key', 'PR Key', 'PR - Tested by Key' FROM T* WHERE 'UR Key'IS NOT EMPTY GROUP BY T1.'UR Key', 'SR Key', 'PR Key','PR - Tested by Key','UR - Tested by Key') GROUP BY 'UR Key', 'SR Key', 'PR Key','PR - Tested by Key','SR - Tested by Key' ORDER BY 'UR Key'->split("-")->1::int; SELECT CASE WHEN 'id' IN (SELECT MIN('id') from TX GROUP BY 'UR Key') THEN 'UR Key' ELSE FORMATWIKI("{cell:border-top-color: white; border-top-width: 2px;}", NULL, "{cell}") END as 'UR Key', CASE WHEN 'id' IN (SELECT MIN('id') from TX GROUP BY 'UR Key','UR - Tested by Key') THEN 'UR - Tested by Key'->slice(0,-2) ELSE FORMATWIKI("{cell:border-top-color: white; border-top-width: 2px;}", NULL, "{cell}") END as 'UR - Tested by Key', 'SR Key', CASE WHEN 'id' IN (SELECT MIN('id') from TX GROUP BY 'UR Key','SR - Tested by Key') THEN 'SR - Tested by Key'->slice(0,-2) ELSE FORMATWIKI("{cell:border-top-color: white; border-top-width: 2px;}", NULL, "{cell}") END as 'SR - Tested by Key', 'PR Key','PR - Tested by Key' FROM TX Hopefully, this will be helpful. Best wishes, Nikita

Hi @Katerina Kovriga _Stiltsoft_ and the @Stiltsoft support Team! I have an expanded challenge on the above question. I was able to do the first level of grouping (see the original to the 1st level grouping images). Now, I am trying to get to the final state, to group the two UR-30 rows into a single row, and the two UR-532 into a single row. Your suggestions are much appreciated, thank you!

nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

Table Transformer - Merge Cells with Duplicate Rows

Hello Community!

I would like to take the following information:

Header 1	Header 2	Header 3
Fruit	Letter A	Apple
Fruit	Letter A	Apricot
Fruit	Letter B	Banana
Fruit	Letter B	Blueberry
Fruit	Letter C	Cherry

And transform it into the following:

Thank you for your insight!

Hello Emily,

Here is the SQL:

SELECT T1.'Header 1', T1.'Header 2', 
FORMATWIKI(SUM(T1.'Header 3' + "\n")) AS 'Header 3'
FROM T1
GROUP BY T1.'Header 1', T1.'Header 2'

And the result:

Or you can use the Pivot Table macro (it is also shipped with the Table Filter and Charts app):

Don't forget to hide totals:

Is there a way to use SQL but have each item after the merged column appear in it's own row with a border still around it? I know the "\n" creates a line break, but it is still making my table very messy. I would prefer them to have their own row.

Hi @Madison Small ,

The Table Transformer macro sees the source table as a mini SQL database, so it can merge cells into one big cell by joining their contents. If we leave a border, then they will be counted as two separate cells and you won't get an aggregated table at all.

Maybe it will be easier to read your table when using ", " instead of the "\n": you'll get "Apple, Apricot" as a result.

@Katerina Kovriga _Stiltsoft_ How would you do something like this with labels? When I try to merge cells that container labels, then labels are turned into plain strings and lose their formatting.
