combinations columns
- 5 years ago
Hi marab ,
Based on your description, you need to duplicate the soure table in power query editor and do some transformations like unpiviot columns, remove duplicates etc. for it to summarize a value table which contains all the roles from the source table. The whole query in power query editor is like this:
let Source = Table, #"Unpivoted Other Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(Source, {"Index Repertitiions"}, "Attribute", "Value"), #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Unpivoted Other Columns",{"Index Repertitiions", "Attribute"}), #"Removed Duplicates" = Table.Distinct(#"Removed Columns") in #"Removed Duplicates"Close and apply it in power query editor, then create a calculated column in the source table to combine these roles:
Group = CONCATENATEX ( 'Value', 'Value'[Value], "_" )You can also use the optional patameters in CONCATENATEX() to define its order, please refer: CONCATENATEX()
Attached a sample file in the below, hopes to help you.

Hi marab,
If I understood you right,
on the first row,
1st column: 23TDO
2nd column: 4LSC
on the second row,
1st column: 4LSC
2nd column: 23TDO
that's why you have the result above.
Right?
How many combinations you have?
Hi thanks!
yes correct.
I have 5 colums corresponding to categories like roles.
In each column the objects are names of people.
each name can play different roles
that means the permutaions of the group can be different, but I am interested in analyzing them together.
So I would need Power BI to see the two lines above like unque as the 5 objects are same even if in a different order
Hope that is clear now!
