Concatenate text stored in several rows

Hey,

I have a table, where the full text string is splitted up into different rows. Here is an example:

 

ID       Entry No.      Text

001     0001             This is a long

001     0002             text which is stored

001     0003             in 3 rows.

002     0001             This is another 

002     0002             example 

....        ....                 ....

 

What I want to retrieve is "This is a long text which is stored in 3 rows.", "This is another example".

Number of rows per text string varies from 1 to 7.

 

Any suggestion how to concatenate these values?

Hey,

If you use the following command, 

Test = CONCATENATEX('Name of your data table','Name of your data table'[The Row you want to merge],"Delimeter this is what appears between each row for example if you set this to "-" you'll get 1-2-3")

Hey Ben,

thanks for quick support. I think your proposal is in right direction, but I still need help: Your example merges all values in column [Test]. I only want to merge those values which have the same ID in another column. In my example all values of column [Text] which share identical value in column [ID] sorted by column [Entry No.].

I'm quite new to Power BI, but I do not see, that your formula resolves that issue. Sorry.
