Return selected values in string?
I have a column with unique values in a standalone table (tableA). How do i create a measure that returns all these values in a single string that will update accordingly while filtering.
I cannot use the VALUES() function because it returns a list of unique values. I need a SINGLE value.
tableA:
1
2
3
4
Try something like this:
= CONCATENATEX ( ALLSELECTED ( TableA[Column] ), TableA[Column], "," )

Try something like this:
= CONCATENATEX ( ALLSELECTED ( TableA[Column] ), TableA[Column], "," )Anonymous Not 100% sure I understand, but seems like you could use CONCATENATEX coupled with SELECTCOLUMN. But, not sure of exactly what you want as output.

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.Anonymous , what output do you need ?
How would add in an additional column to the foregoing? Let's say for example that I have 2 columns: user name and email domain and the table looks like this
Col 1 Col 2
JennyX gmail.com
JennyX yahoo.com
Roberto ilovecats.com
JohnG ilovedogs.com
How would write a concat measure that could show all domains in a string that match the names in col 1 such that the output would be
JennyX gmail.com, yahoo.com
Roberto ilovecats.com
JohnG ilovedogs.com
???
