How to combine 3 records into one?

Question

Hi frnds
I have data like this in my ODS
Material |    ID |   Name |       Address
M1            1             
M1                   AAA             
M1                                  address1
M2            2             
M2                   BBB             
M2                                  address2
M3            3             
M3                   CCC            
M3                                  address2
But I want it like this
Material | ID | Name |   Address
M1         1     AAA       address1
M2         2     BBB       address1
M3         3     CCC       address1
Please tell me how can I do this?

Hi Swati,
If the Material is a master, then in the infoobject level of the Master, assign the infoobjects Name, Address and Id as a compounding and not as attribute.
When you'll do this, automatically for every unique set of combination you will get a new record.
For eg:
Before,  Material      Item        Name          Address
             M1               A        
             M1                                123
             M1                                                 XYZ
Now,  Material      Item        Name          Address
            M1             A            123            XYZ
                                   Or
As per your current quest'n:
            Material      Item        Name          Address
               M1            A            123            XYZ
               M2            A            123            XYZ
Then Output will be:
            Material      Item        Name          Address
             M1            A            123            XYZ
             M2            A            123            XYZ
and you dont need to write any code on ODS, as doing this will server your purpose.
Hope it helps.
