Option Set with Concatenated Values

[Anonymous]

Hi, I have a dataset that I am bringing in from CRM which is an multi-select option set . Because this is a multi-select, it populates as a concatenated value and I am unable to build a relationship between the Option Set and the dataset. I need the relationship to bring the text description (Justification Description) against the individual values (att 2). I have tried to use List.ReplaceMatching items in the query (att 3) which threw an error message (att 4). This is not an ideal solution in any case because if there is a new value added to the Option Set it would have to be added in manually.

Hi @Anonymous ,

You can split the dxc_authorityjustifications column values into multiple rows in your first picture, then you can create a relationship based on this column. 

= Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each Table.FromColumns({Text.Split([Column2], ",")}))
