Return multiple values from a column based on duplicates
I have a measure that calculates and returns a scalar MAX from a column.
Using this MAX value, I want to return a concatenated string from another column, especially if the table has duplicates.
For e.g. there are duplicate scores of 3 in the table 'PlayerScore' below. I want to use the output to be a concatenated string - 'Jason, Bob'. The reason I want it in this format is to use it within the Smart Narrative widget.
I tried doing it with LOOKUPVALUE but that returns an error as multiple values are returned.
My attempt was:
maxScore = CALCULATE(MAX(PlayerScore[Score])) #this returns 3
result =
Expected output - Jason, Bob
Table: 'PlayerScore'
| Name | Score |
| Jason | 3 |
| Bob | 3 |
| Nancy | 1 |
Hey Anonymous,
try this code. For me it worked perfectly.Measure = CONCATENATEX( Filter('PlayerScore',PlayerScore[Score] = Max(PlayerScore[Score])),PlayerScore[Name] ,", ")

Hey Anonymous,
try this code. For me it worked perfectly.Measure = CONCATENATEX( Filter('PlayerScore',PlayerScore[Score] = Max(PlayerScore[Score])),PlayerScore[Name] ,", ")I just finished a short tutorial on this topic.
Anonymous try this
_concat = CONCATENATEX ( FILTER ( tbl, CALCULATE ( COUNT ( tbl[Name] ), ALLEXCEPT ( tbl, tbl[Score] ) ) > 1 ), tbl[Name], ",", tbl[Name], ASC )Thank you for responding. But this solution doesn't work at 'scale', as the table can have any number of rows.
Name Score Jason 3 Bob 3 Nancy 1 Paul 5 Eric 3 Devon 5 Alex 5 and so on..
I want to get all the names with max score (which could be change depending on new data) and return it as a string. For the above example, now 5 is the max score and the expected output would be 'Paul, Devon, Alex'.
Apologies if I wasn't clear in my original post!
