Thanks Dale ( v-jiascu-msft ), :smileyhappy:

 

I am working in Excel 2016 Powerpivot and not using Power BI. Instead of concatenating, cant we have the result as shown above, so that i can see which char values were Emerging in a particular year and which were trending from past years? Also, the length due to concatenation is exceeding in some columns and so unpleasant to read.

 

Also, some of these Unique Char Values seem to be present in previous years also. They should be unique across entire daterange, so that in each year we get to see which are the unique chars that have entered market.

 

Item Appearance Date (Year)CHAR DESCUniqueCharsDistinctCount
2018LSDMXXXX | HHHH2
2017LSDMXXXX | SSSS2
2016LSDMXXXX1
Grand Total XXXX | HHHH | SSSS3

 

e.g. XXXX has appeared in 2016, 2017, 2018. Hope you are getting my point.
