Hi,

I am trying to find a way to merge two cells in Power Query before deleting row 1 so that the data in row 2 can be made the column headers.

Example, see attached image. Column 12 row 1 = "16/08/2021" and column 12 row 2 = "Total". Looking to achieve Column 12 row 2 = "Total 16/08/2021".

I cannot do in Excel first as the master excel report changes every week so looking to automate with power query before appending three worksheets in Power Query

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks

David
