How to return multiple values separated by commas (DAX)

Hi, everyone.

I suppose that it is noobie question - but I can't find an answer. Pls, help.

I have 2 tables and need to create a new one

The first table contains Client ID and Source 

The second contains Client ID - and Sold  

New one - Sold Cliend ID + All Souces (separated by commas).

Which function can help with this?

 

The logic is

IF SOURCE.table [Client ID] = SOLD.table [Client ID]

AND SOLD.table [Sold] = yes

RETURN  SOURCE.Sold [Client ID], LIST OF SOURCES (??)

 

Thank you!

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    You can create the following table:

     

    Table =
ADDCOLUMNS (
    SUMMARIZE ( FILTER ( Sold; Sold[Sold] = "YES" ); Sold[ClientID] );
    "Source"; CONCATENATEX ( RELATEDTABLE ( Source ); Source[Source]; ", " )
)

     

    If you want a measure you should use:

    Measure = CONCATENATEX(Source;Source[Source]; ", ")

    Then just filter out the Sold to yes on the filter of the visual.

    Join both the tables on client id and use concatenatex on sold.table[source]

     

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/concatenatex-function-dax

     

    all source =concatenatex(sold.table[source])

     

    Display it in a table or matrix along with client id

    Hello I have a question related to this topic. I have a table and measure created like this.

    But what I want is to have only 1 value in MCC_LIST. Just filter distinct values, no repetition.

     

    Thank you for help, Dusan

      HI dmatliak ,

       

      Instead of refering to the all table refer only to the columns you need that will create a summarize with distinct values:

       

      MCCList = 
IF (
    HASONEVALUE ( LOC[CUSTID] ),
    VAR mcc_list =
        VALUES ( LOC[CUSTID] )
    RETURN
        CONCATENATEX ( FILTER ( ALL ( LOC[CUSTID], LOC[MCC] ), LOC[CUSTID] IN mcc_list ), LOC[MCC], "," ),
    BLANK ()
)
