Hi,Aden123
I am glad to help you.
According to your description, actually you want to sort data in ascending order in same cell?
If I understand you correctly, then you can refer to my solution.
1.Import the data into Power BI Desktop and click Transform data to open Power Query Edit.
2.Choose Custom Column in Power Query Edit.
3.Enter M language formulas to create new columns
let Source = [Current data], SplitColumn = Text.Split(Source, ","), SortedList = List.Sort(SplitColumn, Order.Ascending), CombinedText = Text.Combine(SortedList, ",") in CombinedTextResult :
I hope my suggestions give you good ideas, if you have any more questions, please clarify in a follow-up reply.
Best Regards,
Fen Ling,
