Remove replicated values in a grouped column
Hello,
I have some data on various invoices with a department and client column. Some invoices can apply to either multiple clients or multiple departments.
I use Group By a to concatenate the Client and Department values on a single row.
That works, except that I get combination of the same values for the respective fields.
How can I get only unique values for each column?
i.e. for Invoice 1, I want Used; A,F and for Invoice 5 I want Used,Repair; E.
Thank you.

Try code below:
Result = Table.Group(#"Changed Type", {"Invoice"}, {{"Department Concatenated", each Text.Combine(List.Distinct([Department]), ","), type text}, {"Client Concatenated", each Text.Combine(List.Distinct([Client]), ","), type text}})Community Support Team _ Jimmy Tao

Hi huguest
Just add List. Distinct before Text.Combine
= Table.Group(#"Changed Type", {"Invoice"}, {{"Department", each Text.Combine( List.Distinct([Department]), ", " ), type text}, {"Client", each Text.Combine( List.Distinct([Client]), ", "), type text}})Best Regards,
