I need to group some cells in excel. It's a csv file and this exercise is required to clean the data up prior to import.
Column 1 contains the unique ID each record should be grouped by. Most rows contain replicated data in each column but some columns contain data which has to be merged into one cell.
Eg one record looks like this
a,b,c,d,
1 ID1,London,red,colour
2 ID1,London,yellow,colour
3 ID1,London,green,colour
4 ID1,London,blue,colour
So this should be one record, with the different colours grouped into one cell. There are approx 10 columns, of which 2 or 3 require grouping.
I hope this makes sense to someone out there!
