Remove commas on concatenated columns
I have three calculated columns, Customers, Accounts and Staff I want to concatenate into one ccolumn. I created this calculated column, but I notice the commas still appear if one of the three tables is blank.
Attendees = Appointments[Customers] & ", " & Appointments[Accounts] & ", " & Appointments[Staff]
So my column looks like this if there is only a customer field available.
| Attendees |

how do I remove commas when not required?
av9 , you can use if to control
Attendees = Appointments[Customers] & if(isblank(Appointments[Accounts]),"" , ", " & Appointments[Accounts] )& if(isblank(Appointments[Staff]) , "" ,", " & Appointments[Staff])
Hi av9
Try this
Attendees = Appointments[Customers] & if(len(Appointments[Accounts])>0,", " & Appointments[Accounts] , "") & if(len(Appointments[Staff])>0, ", " & Appointments[Staff], "")Phil

Hi av9 ,
Can you try this
Text.Combine(List.Select({Appointmnets[Customers],Appointmnets[Accounts],Appointmnets[Staff]}, each _<> "" and _ <> null)," , ")Hope this helps.
