Combine Elements together

 

Looking at the picture, you can see how there are 5 fire stations. I need all of the numbers to be in the same row, so there's only one fire station. How can I do this?

  • Anonymous it is bizzare, is there any special invisible character that is seperating all these text values, may be in power query, clean the column value and see if that works.

      parry2k This is what the data looks like.

  • Anonymous , How are you able to show 5 rows. In matrix all same values should group together.

     

    Create a column like this where you have fire station value

    New Colum = "-" & [column] & "-"

     

    Now use this, this will let you know if there is space of special character or take len

    len([column)

    put length and that column and unsummarized and check how many values you get.

     

    Fix the issue.

      amitchandak I don't really understand what you want me to do. I'm new to Power Bi. I tried making the column but it just gave me errors.

        Anonymous , I just wanted you add something before or after the text to know if there are additional character or use len function to check lenght to find out.
