How to work with arrays in PowerBI?

Hello

 

I have the data below:

A, 1

A, 2

A, 3

B, 1

B, 2

 

How can I specify the array for Column2 per value of Column1 and output it into a comma separated string in ascending order?

I.e.:

 

A; 1,2,3

B; 1,2

 

Thanks!

Measure =
CONCATENATEX ( DISTINCT ( Table1[Col2] ), Table1[Col2], ",", Table1[Col2], ASC  )

Hi @Anonymous 

1. Place Col1 on a table visual

2. Place this measure in the visual 

Measure =
CONCATENATEX ( DISTINCT ( Table1[Col2] ), Table1[Col2], "," )

@Anonymous , You can create a measure on second column
