Creating a String Array in Power BI

Hi, 

I got 3 differenet columns and I want to create a String Array for them and I want them into a table

 

Ex:

CarsModelColor
HondaCivicWhite
Mazda CX9Black
ToyotaCamryRed

 

I'm not sure about the String function that needed to be used! 

 

Thank you!

Hi @BenMoses ,

 

You can use COMBINEVALUES to concatenate those columns

You can also use & sign but this will result to a more verbose formula

Create a custom column in the Power Query and add this M code.
= "[" & Text.From([Cars]) & ", " & Text.From([Model]) & ", " & Text.From([Color]) & "]".
This should help you achieve the output you are looking for.

Let me know if this works.
