I want to take several columns from a data source and put them in a new collection under a single column. For example the three items in column A, B, C would become three data items under a new column in the new collection.

colSourceCollection

URL1 URL2 URL3

www.url-one.com | www.url-two.com | www.url-three.com

colNewCollection

URL

---------------

www.url-one.com

www.url-two.com

www.url-three.com

I've tried using GroupBy and AddColumns but can't get the result I'm looking for.

You'll use AddColumns() and then Concatenate() to create the string.

@Anonymous ,

Thanks for the reply.

So I should use AddColumns to concatenate the contents of each URL column. How would I then built a collection from the contents of the added column? Split perhaps?

I'm surprised there isn't a simpler way of taking data from several columns and putting into a single column table/collection.

Cheers

Hey @Digital

Can you try to use the below expression:

Clear(colNewCollection);ForAll(colSourceCollection,Collect(colNewCollection,{Value:Url1},{Value:Url2},{Value:Url3}))

Hope this Helps!
