    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    This is my test data.

    Adding a custom column in the power query editor.

    = if Text.Combine(List.Sort(Text.Split([String1], ",")), ",") = Text.Combine(List.Sort(Text.Split([String2], ",")), ",") then "yes" else "no"

    Then the result is as follows.

    If I have misunderstood you please clarify in a follow up reply.

     

    Best Regards,
