Hello I would like to concatenate the values from sublists (of varying length) into a single value. I have tried various list nodes (slice,chop,flatten)- the below is as close as I can get. In the below example, I would like to concatenate values from sublist[0] to be “FIRE PIPEWORK, FRP” Likewise, sublist[1] to be “HANG DOORS, FRP, SHEET WALLS, STRIP” thank you in advance ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/2X/2/232e17d206b5dea241c24cdad809f6a59b0a0122.JPG) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/2X/a/a40de695d1acbf29d7b48a03b641c3b3960f173c.JPG) ---

To answer my own question: Since the data source is an SQL database, I can create a query for the grouping/concatenation- refer below. But if anyone has an idea to achieve the same in Dynamo, I would be interested to know how to do this.

Story so far of my Dynamo life. Luckily it keeps it exciting. My approach to Dynamo is, it’s sort of a cure for cancer. I started with it at the “seek and destroy” level of data manipulation, but now I’m getting closer toward laser surgery with my scripts. About every few days I run across a new node I’ve never used and get blown away at what I can do with it! It’s a struggle, but one with a good payoff at the end toward automation! ---
