You can use merge column function. Create column <> merge column

You have a few options to group information when rows share the same value: 1. Use filters to view only rows with the same value in a specific column. Click the Filter icon, select your column, and set the condition. 2. Create a new column that merges data from multiple columns: • Click "Add Column" > "Merge columns" • Select your data type • Write a formula combining the columns using "/" • Click "Save settings" 3. Use the dedupe feature to remove duplicate rows based on a specific column's values.

To group information from columns where rows share the same value: 1. Click "Add column" → "Merge columns" 2. Select your desired data type from the dropdown 3. Write a formula that combines the columns using "/" symbols 4. Click "Save settings" This creates a new column that merges data from your selected columns, effectively grouping the information based on your formula.

Hey Charles, thanks for reaching out! There is absolutely a way we can combine this data from separate columns to achieve what you're looking for. Charles - Do you mind sending the link (url) to the table so we can take a look?
