    Good catch Marcel but I have other columns :)

     

    Thanks for your help, you pointed me to the right way !

     

    here the solution :

    = Table.AddColumn(#"Reordered Columns", "Personnalisé", each Text.Combine(List.Select(Record.FieldValues(Record.FromList({[Col1],[Col2],[Col3]}, type [Col1 = text,Col2 = text,Col3 = text])), each _<> "" and _ <> null)," & "))

     

    Thanks again

    Pleased you solved your own issue.

     

    I'd rather had shortened the code a bit:

     

    = Text.Combine(List.Select({[Col1],[Col2],[Col3],[Col4]}, each _<> "" and _ <> null)," & ")

    I cannot see where to mark your reply as an answer..  In the place  where there are 3 points in a row there is not such option in the scroll down menu... maybe  it's only allowed just one "solved" per post (thread)
