Create a string that "compounds" based on conditional statements

Question

I need to create a string that compounds based on if there is a value in the column.

I have a table that has a different column for each course (if they have completed the course there is a 1 in that field, if not its blank). I would like to create a column that can immediately show all the courses the user has not completed. For this user it would show:

MTA506, MTA507, MTA508, MTA509, etc etc. (these end up being broken down into sections MTA501 - 505 & 506 - 510 & etc, I just cant figure out the overall logic)

Any suggestions? I think prefer it be in one field due since it will be in sections and only show for people in process of that secton anyway, so I can easily fit it on the current dashboard, but I'm open if there's a better way to do it!

Thanks!

DemingPDCA&nbsp;, you need to unpivot the course columns.Check out this:https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/unpivot-columns-power-query-0f7bad4b-9ea1-49c1-9d95-f588221c7098The best way may be the 'unpivot other columns' option: select the non course columns and unpivot other.&nbsp;

if I do that - it makes a row for each course - right? I would want all of them on 1 row.&nbsp;

you can do it on visualization but you have to unpivot the data table.if you post a sample dataset (PFP Check table) we can help you to better understand.

You are both correct. It will make a row for each course in the table in your model. However, you can still put them all on a row in a matrix visual as a single field.
