DAX Replace repetitive string with one string
Hi Everyone,
I have a column with the click flow of a user on a specific day:
BUT, When activities repeat themselves, it becomes impossible to visualise or group the data. I would like to replace repetitive strings (activities) with one single string:
| What I have | What I want |
| ClickFlowColumn | ClickFlowColumn |
| click , click, preview, insert, insert, insert | click, preview, insert |
| click, search, search, search, preview | click, search, preview |
Dax only please, because this is a calculated column.
Some help would be much appreciated!

What do you change your formula like this?ClickFlowColumn = CALCULATE ( CONCATENATEX ( VALUES ( ActivitiesTable[Activity Type] ), ActivitiesTable[Activity Type], ", " ), ALLEXCEPT ( ActivitiesTable, ActivitiesTable[UserId], ActivitiesTable[Date] ) )________________________

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerquery-m/text-combineamitchandak thank you, but I'm working with calculated columns, so unfortunately Power Query won't solve my problem.
