In the above sheet, I have character names from the scene. I need to prepare Character-wise scene numbers for my project. So, by making characters unique I need to create a list of scene numbers.

EXPECTED OUTPUT : (Note: Below output is Just to understand the requirement only but not precisely like this)

I need to get all the scene numbers list for the character.

MICHAEL -
E01 SC 01, E01 SC 02, E01 SC 03, E01 SC 05, E02 SC 02, E02 SC 04, E02 SC 06, E02 SC 10
JACK - E01 SC 01, E01 SC 03, E01 SC 05, E02 SC 05, E02 SC 09
ELIZABETH - E01 SC 01, E01 SC 04, E02 SC 01
JOHN - E01 SC 02, E02 SC 01, E02 SC 04, E02 SC 09
SAMANTHA - E01 SC 03, E01 SC 04, E02 SC 02, E02 SC 08
LOGAN - E01 SC 03, E01 SC 04, E02 SC 03, E02 SC 07
EVAN - E02 SC 01
ANGEL - E02 SC 03, E02 SC 07

If there is any way to achieve this, Please help me.

Thanks in advance!

Power Query:
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    Group = Table.Group(Source, {"CHARACTER NAME"}, {{"Scenes", each Table.Distinct(_), type table [SCENE NUMBER=text, CHARACTER NAME=text]}, {"Count", each Table.RowCount(Table.Distinct(_)), Int64.Type}}),
    Combine = Table.TransformColumns(Group,{{"Scenes", each Text.Combine(_[SCENE NUMBER],", ")}})
in
    Combine
Hey @lrobbo314
Can we get one more column, combining multiple values by grouping Character Name and using "," as a delimiter.?(Like we did for Scene Number Column)

Thanks in advance!

How can you automate Excel?
Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
In your example it says 'Text,Text,Text'. What do you actually want in that column?
