Error when using Distinct Function: A table of multiple values was supplied where a single value was
New user here trying to navigate unexpected results. I have a fact table that has multiple entries for repeating data points (email addresses). The same email address is listed multiple times within the same column.
I am trying to create a new column in a new table using the DISTINCT function, but I am recieving the error mentioned above.
The goal is to populate the new column in the new table with ONLY a list of the unique email addresses that are present in the fact table.
It was my assumption that DISTINCT was a fairly straightforward solution, but that does not appear to be the case. Any tips?

all(tablename[columnname])

Thanks! Is there a way to pull in all the values, but ignore the nulls?
