Returning comma separated values from a filtered related table

JFarq — Sun, 16 Jun 2024 18:06:26 GMT

I'm trying to create a measure similar to this:

Selected Suppress Labels = CONCATENATEX( VALUES(Main_Inc_CC_And_tfs_SurveyResults[Suppress Label (big 14 2022 - big 14 2024 only)]), Main_Inc_CC_And_tfs_SurveyResults[Suppress Label (big 14 2022 - big 14 2024 only)], ", ", Main_Inc_CC_And_tfs_SurveyResults[Suppress Label (big 14 2022 - big 14 2024 only)], ASC )

This returns a comma separated list of the values in the Suppress Label (big 14 2022 - big 14 2024 only) field based on the current filter/slicer context of my report.

However, to simplify my raw data, i'd like to create a measure to pull the 'Suppress Label' values from a field in a different table connected via a 'CN-Q code' in a one-to-many relationship:

I've tried to adapt a measure i've used to previously to pull data from connecting tables (with a calculate function):

Pull values from ReturnsData_21_22_to_23_24_table = CALCULATE ( CONCATENATEX( VALUES(ReturnsData_21_22_to_23_24[Suppress Label]), ReturnsData_21_22_to_23_24[Suppress Label], ", ", ReturnsData_21_22_to_23_24[Suppress Label], ASC ), FILTER ( ReturnsData_21_22_to_23_24, ReturnsData_21_22_to_23_24[CN-Q code] == MAXX ( Main_Inc_CC_And_tfs_SurveyResults, Main_Inc_CC_And_tfs_SurveyResults[CN-Q code] ) ) )

but it seems to return only one value instead of a comma separated list when more than one are selected in the Main_Inc_CC_And_tfs_SurveyResults[Suppress Label (big 14 2022 - big 14 2024 only)] field (and therefore the ReturnsData_21_22_to_23_24[Suppress Label] field):

Apologies if this doesn't give enough information, i'll upload a .pbix file if necessary.

Any help would be much appreciated

Hello JFarq ,
Can you please upload a PBIX file to investigate the issue?

Thank you.

Hi, JFarq

Maybe you can create measures and try the following DAX expression:

Unique Suppress Labels = CONCATENATEX ( DISTINCT ( 'Table'[Suppress Label] ), 'Table'[Suppress Label], ", " ) Filtered Suppress Labels = CALCULATE ( [Unique Suppress Labels], FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[CN-Q code] = MAXX ( 'Table', 'Table'[CN-Q code] ) ) )

Here is my preview:

If it does not help, please provide more details with your desired output and pbix file without privacy information (or some sample data)
