Power query - Go trough list and add text with each step (for each statement)

Hi everyone

 

I have a list for example:

  • A
  • B
  • C
  • D

 

Now I want to create a query in power query that will create a text like this:

"The letters are: "  A B C D

 

I already have this query:

 

let
    xx=   KEYListfunction(),
    list = Text.Split(xx, ","),
    text = "",
   loop = List.Accumulate(list, 0, (state, current) => text = text &  " " & current ))
in
loop

 

But the result only says "FALSE"

hi @Anonymous 

You may useText.Combine instead of List.Accumulate Function
