Concatenate / Combine values based on another column

Kia Ora

 

I would like to know if there is a way of achieving the following: I have a table that has codes and a key that identifies related codes. In the example below all one's are related, all the two's and so on.

 

I need an output that combines the codes when they are related by a key - see the desired outcome column.

 

As seen in the example below there can be multiple codes that are the same for the key. I just need a combined outcome of each distinct code for each key.

 

I also need the outcome to shoew in the same format for each row. i.e. for key one each row must be ABC123 / BCD234 and not a mix of ABC123 / BCD234 & BCD234 / ABC123.

 

I would eb very gratful if anyone know if this is possible.

 

CodeKey Desired Outcome
ABC1231 ABC123 / BCD234
ABC1231 ABC123 / BCD234
BCD2341 ABC123 / BCD234
BCD2341 ABC123 / BCD234
CDE3452 CDE345 / DEF456
CDE3452 CDE345 / DEF456
DEF4562 CDE345 / DEF456
DEF4562 CDE345 / DEF456
EFG5673 EFG567 / FGH678
EFG5673 EFG567 / FGH678
FGH6783 EFG567 / FGH678
FGH6783 EFG567 / FGH678

    You can use this as calculated column

     

    Column =
    CONCATENATEX (
        CALCULATETABLE (
            VALUES ( TableName[Code] ),
            ALLEXCEPT ( TableName, TableName[Key] )
        ),
        [Code],
        " / ",
        [Code], ASC
    )
