How to extract records value into a cell

Hello All,

I have a SharePoint list that has two fields.

1-Project name (Single line of text)

2-Managers (Person or Group> Allow multiple selection>Yes)

I imported this into Power BI.

At power Query Editor:

Under the Manger column I see two list items as shown on the screenshot-1 below.

When I click on a list, I see 2 records as shown on the screenshot-2 below.

When I click on a record, I see all data that relevant to that record. Please see the attached screenshot-3

My question is this:

I want display those records’ (right now there are two records however there can be more than two records) value in a column like this:

Column:

title1, title2, title3 so on….

How can I achieve this?

Thank you for your support in advanced.

Hi @Anonymous ,

instead of expanding the column, you can add a new column with this formula:

 

Text.Combine([Managers][title], ", ")

@Anonymous What happens when you use the diverging arrows in the header of Managers, what options do you have?

Hello Greg Deckler,

 

We are almost there.

It gives me two options: 

1-Expand to New Rows

2-Exract Values

 

The second option(Exract Values) gives error.

However, the first option gives me the list of values. Please see in the screen below.

When I chose the title valu which I am after. Then it works well but it creates extra rows for each value.

However, I want to have those values like this: Column : Manager.title-1, Manager.title-2, etc.

How can I get the data in this way?
