    Hi  Anonymous ,

    Here are two methods you can use:

    Dax:

    Create calculated table.

    Table =
    SUMMARIZE('Table1',Table1[ID],"2",CONCATENATEX('Table1','Table1'[Data],","))

    Power query:

    Enter into the power query, Home – Group by

    This time throws an error, Power Query performs a Sum operation on the text value, so this error occurs. Apparently, the Sum operation only works on numbers and doesn't concatenate text values.

    Copy the following code in:

    = Table.Group(#"Changed Type", {"ID"}, {{"New data", each Text.Combine([Data] ,","), type text}})

    Please click here for the pbix file

     

    Best Regards,
