DAX to Concatenate Correspond Rows?

Hello,

 

I am trying to concatenate 2 correspond rows  in the same column.   Here is my example:

 

ranis1227_1-1661780528894.png

I need Malignant neoplasm associated with transplanted organ on the same row to C802.  

 

So the final result would look like this:

I tried a lag but the null rows are throwing me off.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Right click your first column and fill down

This will give your descriptions the same ID.

Then right click the same row and select group by and set it to MAX of the description

and you should get something like this

Replace the highlighted text 'List.Max' with 'Text.Combine' (also throw a space in there to seperate the strings) and you get....

Hi,

I am not sure if I understood your question correctly, but if you can go into Power Query Editor, try using FILLDOWN function in order to make null value same as the above value.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-query/fill-values-column

 

And then try creating a new table by writing a DAX formula something like below.

 

Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

New Table =
ADDCOLUMNS (
    VALUES ( Data[Column1] ),
    "@NewColumn", CALCULATE ( CONCATENATEX ( Data, Data[Column2], " " ) )
)
