I have a few similar and unique values in the same column, and I need only distinctive values, example: US,CA,ATL,ATL,US,FR->US,CA,ATL,FR

    Hi EugeneB 

    Column Distinct = 
VAR String = 'Table'[Column]
VAR Items = SUBSTITUTE ( String, ",", "|" )
VAR Length = COALESCE ( PATHLENGTH ( Items ), 1 )
VAR T1 = GENERATESERIES ( 1, Length, 1 )
VAR T2 = SELECTCOLUMNS ( T1, "@Item", PATHITEM ( Items, [Value] ) )
VAR T3 = DISTINCT ( T2 )
RETURN
    CONCATENATEX ( T3, [@Item], "," )
