    Transpose or Pivot??

    I have a table of data of customers. The column data includes the standard name, address, etc.. It also includes 1 column of the software platform they own. Because customers have multiple software platforms, there are multiple rows of the same customer data with the software column including the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. software they own. How can I move all the separate rows of the software onto the first row of the customer creating multiple columns of the different software they own? It would be best to take the separate rows of software and add them onto the first row of the customer. Then I can remove all the additional rows of the customer. The final goal is to have one row per customer that includes the standard data like name, address, etc. and then multiple columns of software. So a variation of a transpose or is this a pivot need? Is this possible? A sample of data is attached.

    Your example looks like the result I am looking to achieve. So how was that accomplished?

    Sorry. Missed that first sentence. I did try this but get an error on the Measure process. My table name is "Table3". My formula is =CONCATENATEX(Table3,[Status],”, “). My error is: This formula is invalid or incomplete: 'The expression is not valid or appears to be incomplete. Please review and correct the expression.
    The following syntax error occurred during parsing: Invalid token, Line 1, Offset 30, ”.
    '.

    Hi gman and welcome to the forum,

    I have no idea what Dax is either, so I've done your problem with a helper column. First I did a Unique() on column 2 below your table. Then a helper to count how many of each in the last column.
    See the attached with the final answer below your table. Neither Transpose or Pivot but Unique and.xlsx Click on the link to the left.
    Hope this does what you need, and you can follow the logic. BTW - Unique() is only in the newer versions of Excel.
    One test is worth a thousand opinions.
