Hi,

How about the following expression?

dtResult = dt.AsEnumerable.GroupBy(Function(r) r("Column A").ToString).Select(Function(g) dt.Clone.LoadDataRow({g.key,g.Count},False)).CopyToDataTable()

Regards,

I have implemented it by using Dictionary. But I want to solve it more easily by using if and for conditions.
