Hello @Williamspsouza ,

We've added a custom column to meet your requirements.

if [Data] is table 
then 
  Text.Combine(
    List.Transform(
      List.Combine(Table.ToRows([Data]))
      , each Text.From(_)
      )
    ,","
    )
else [Data]

And we can get the result this way,

All inquiries are here:

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(
        {
          {1, null},
          {2, "QA"},
          {3, Table.FromRows({{"Camunda"}, {"Salesforce"}} ,{"Element:Text"})},
          {4, null},
          {5, Table.FromRows({{"A",1}, {"B",2}, {"C",4}} ,{"Element:Text2","AnotherID"})}
        }
      ,{"ID", "Data"}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each if [Data] is table 
then 
  Text.Combine(
    List.Transform(
      List.Combine(Table.ToRows([Data]))
      , each Text.From(_)
      )
    ,","
    )
else [Data])
in
    #"Added Custom"

If you don't meet your requirement, could you show the expected exact result based on the table we shared?

BTW, pbix as attached.

Best regards

Hi @Anonymous ，

Could you please share a sample data to me?

So I can try to solve it in my desktop first to make sure my way is working.

Thanks
