Hi @vmusthu786 

If you set the Items property of datatable to something like this, it should give you the result that you're looking for.

AddColumns(GroupBy(YourTable, "Title", "Details"),
           "CombinedDates", 
           Concat(Details,Date & ",")
)

This formula calls the AddColumns function to add a column called CombinedDates. CombinedDates will Concat the date values in YourTable.

You can use the GroupBy function to group the original table into the meeting type, then use the AddColumns function to add a new column with the dates joined by the Concat function, like in the example below:

AddColumns(
    GroupBy(
        Table,
        "Title",
        "ByTitle"),
    "Dates",
    Concat(ByTitle, Text(Date, "dd/mm/yyyy"), ", "))

The attached app shows an example of this scenario. To open it, save it locally, then go to https://create.powerapps.com, select Open -> Browse, then find the file that you saved before.

Hope this helps!

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, i tried with your suggestion with this code all the dates are coming to Column irrespective of the meeting line item. request you to suggest me with some other solution for this. I'm totally new to this. Hope you understood my requirement

Can you provide more information on your issue? Which expressions you are using for the data table? If you add a data table that points directly to your Excel table, does it show the data that you expect? What do you mean by "all the dates are coming to Column irrespective of the meeting line item" - can you show what you get? Thanks!
