    What is the expected output based on the sample data?

    Hey Sean,

    It seems that the OP wrote the expected results and attached the sample data. So adding message column to the group by seems to work fine.

    Ahh yes. I didn't look at the picture because...well...because so often the attached pictures provide little to the discussion. In this case apparently it did. 😀
