Dear Gods

I wonder if you have a moment.

I have a data sheet containing the following column headers; 
Srv_Name    SAN_Info    Criticality_rating    Commission Date

[download]
The data inside the table is of this nature; 
Srv_0A,xxxxxxxxx,,xxxxxxxxxxx
Srv_0A,,,
Srv_0G,,,
Srv_0B,xxxxxxxxxx,,xxxxxxxxx
Srv_0A,,,xxxxxxxxxxxxxx                
Srv_0G,xxxxxxxxxxx,xxxxxxxxxxxxxx,    
Srv_0B,,xxxxxxxxxxxxxx,

[download]
And I need to consolidate the information pertaining to one entry in a single distinct record. Producing an output such as that; 
Srv_0A,xxxxxxxxxxxxx,xxxxxxxxxxxx,xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Srv_0G,xxxxxxxxxxxxx,xxxxxxxxxxxx,        
Srv_0B, xxxxxxxxxxxxx,xxxxxxxxxxxx,xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[download]
And All the entries that were not matched with any thing will be stored else were. I have spend a lot of thinking time but haven’t managed to come up with any ideas.

Your divine intervention is highly regarded....Thanks.
