DAX Measure to concatenate common values found in more columns

[marcofalzone]

Hi Community,

I'm working with a table structured as follows:

I would like to write a DAX measure that returns in any row a unique string of combination of Column_1 and Column_2 values that belongs to both columns.

For example, if I put a slicer selector on Blue, the visual should return the following:

Values "200" and "450" are not part of the concatenation because they only appear on Column_2.

And, if I turn the slicer on Yellow, it shall return:

Again, values "200" and "450" in Column_2 do not become part of the Concatenation, since are not common to both columns.

In other words, I'm trying to figure out how to write a measure that repeat the same combination in any row of the row context [regardless the row] and is filtered by the field context based on Column_3.

I do appreciate your kind suggestions!

Marco.

Hi Xiaoxin, the proposed formula is perfect, thank you for the time dedicated to my question.

I have a couple of question for you, just for my growth in DAX language:

Is there any way to convert the ouput of your formula in order to return a table as output? It could be useful to use that output as input "IN" syntax (argument of "CALCULATE"), which requires a table as well.

Thank you.

Hi @marcofalzone,

I'd like to suggest you use INTERSECT and CONCATENATEX functions to get the intersect part of values from two columns.

formula =
CONCATENATEX (
    INTERSECT ( VALUES ( Table1[column1] ), VALUES ( Table1[column2] ) ),
    [column1],
    ", "
)
