Hello,

I need to consolidate the rows below by ID, that is, merge the rows for each unique id into one row.

ID Fld1 Fld2 Fld3
1 null val1 null
1 valx null valy
2 null valn valp
3 null null valx
3 null valy null
3 valn null null

result should be:

ID Fld1 Fld2 Fld3
1 valx val1 valy
2 null valn valp
3 valn valy valx

Thank for your help!

Well, that hack is all well and good..but what if you had

ID Fld1 Fld2 Fld3
1 null val1 null
1 valz null valx
1 null val2 null
1 valx null valy

What then?
