Hi

In PowerQuery I have a tabel that looks like the tabel under (TBL1). if you see under the ItemNo I have 1 or several same ID. So I need help to
make a colum that takes e.g. ItemNo: SHD3061 that have 2 rows of images and concatenate. So my result I hope to achieve is this (TBL2)

TBL2
ItemNoImages
SHD3061/photos/SHD3061/SHD3061.jpg, /photos/SHD3061/SHD3061_4.png

<tbody>
</tbody>

From the tabel under you can see that the Image can be more than 1 for a ItemNo.

TBL1: Here is my result today I hope to fix
ItemNoImages

Excel Facts

Fastest way to copy a worksheet?
Hold down the Ctrl key while dragging tab for Sheet1 to the right. Excel will make a copy of the worksheet.
try

Code:
[SIZE=1]// Table1
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(Source, {"ItemNo"}, {{"Count", each _, type table}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "Images", each Table.Column([Count],"Images")),
    #"Extracted Values" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Added Custom", {"Images", each Text.Combine(List.Transform(_, Text.From), ", "), type text})
in
    #"Extracted Values"[/SIZE]

without Advanced Editor ;)

Thanks for the reply, can you please help me out when I have this code before in Advanced Editor
How to place your code in my code :)

Code:
let
    Kilde = Xml.Tables(Web.Contents("https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xml")),
    Table1 = Kilde{1}[Table],
    Table0 = Table1{0}[Table],
    #"Utvidet Picture" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(Table0, "Picture", {"Property"}, {"Property"}),
    #"Utvidet Property" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Utvidet Picture", "Property", {"Attribute:Value"}, {"Attribute:Value"}),
    #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Utvidet Property",{{"Attribute:Value", "Image"}}),
    #"Removed Other Columns" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Renamed Columns",{"ItemNo", "Image"})
in
    #"Removed Other Columns"

I see that in the code it shows some norwegian words.

Kilde = Source
Utvidet = Extended

Thanks :)

if the result of your M-code is your table from post#1 add last 3 lines from my post to your M-code, eg.

Code:
[SIZE=1]let
    Kilde = Xml.Tables(Web.Contents("https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xml")),
    Table1 = Kilde{1}[Table],
    Table0 = Table1{0}[Table],
    #"Utvidet Picture" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(Table0, "Picture", {"Property"}, {"Property"}),
    #"Utvidet Property" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Utvidet Picture", "Property", {"Attribute:Value"}, {"Attribute:Value"}),
    #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Utvidet Property",{{"Attribute:Value", "Image"}}),
    #"Removed Other Columns" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Renamed Columns",{"ItemNo", "Image"}),
[COLOR="#0000FF"]    #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Removed Other Columns", {"ItemNo"}, {{"Count", each _, type table}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "Images", each Table.Column([Count],"Images")),
    #"Extracted Values" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Added Custom", {"Images", each Text.Combine(List.Transform(_, Text.From), ", "), type text})
in
    #"Extracted Values"[/COLOR][/SIZE]

but you should check proper syntax (you need to use Advanced Editor :) :) :) )

or
with your M-code
- group by ItemNo
- add custom column with Table.Column(....
- expand List column with delimiter: ", " (second option)

btw. your code has Image but your table from post#1 has Images

    #"Utvidet Property" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Utvidet Picture", "Property", {"Attribute:Value"}, {"Attribute:Value"}),
    #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Utvidet Property",{{"Attribute:Value", "Image"}}),
    #"Removed Other Columns" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Renamed Columns",{"ItemNo", "Image"}),
    #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Removed Other Columns", {"ItemNo"}, {{"Count", each _, type table}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "Images", each Table.Column([Count],"Images")),
