Hi @anaorca1990 ,

In Power Query, you can select Merge Columns on the Transform tab. Since you didn't provide pictures, I am assuming something like this.

Started with:

 

dates combine.PNG

Then change type to text.

Then merge to columns with comma as delimiter.

Then changed name of column, and changed type back to date.

 

dates combine1.PNG

 

If this solves your issues, please mark it as the solution, so that others can find it easily. Kudos are nice too.
Nathaniel
