Grouped rows and extract values DISTINCT?

Hello,

 

I have a dataset where I would like to Group based on Project ID, all the distinct values for Business Activity type.

 

First, I grouped Rows, and selected "All Rows" Operation. Called Column name "MyTable".

 

Then I added a custom column:

 

= Table.AddColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "Custom", each Table.Column([MyTable], "Business Activity"))

 

Then I selected Extract Values From List, using comma as delimter:

 

And here I got sometimes the same Business Acitivity 10 times for the same Project, since we had 10 rows with it.

 

Can I somehow make it distinct?

end of code:

 

#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "Custom", each Table.Column([MyTable], "Business Activity")),
#"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Added Custom",{"MyTable"}),
#"Extracted Values" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Removed Columns", {"Custom", each Text.Combine(List.Transform(_, Text.From), ","), type text})
in
#"Extracted Values"

Try replacing "_" with "List.Distinct(_)" or even "List.Sort(List.Distinct(_))".
