Hello everyone I was able to use a lookup to get all these instances I could use a join column to give them a comma but tu would return all the same instances. I can’t really explain it but what I need is to bring only one word in a row e.g

row 1 = seed  
row 2 = seed, grain fertilizers  
row 3 = grains  
row 4 = grains, seeds

Hey,  
You could use a UNIQUE ELEMENTS column to remove duplicates and then use Join List column on the result to get one word in each row.

Step 1:
