Split CSV values in a column into multiple rows

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I'm quite new to DAX. I need your help for transforming a table from somthing like:

Name | Type

A  |  f,g

B  |  f,i,h

C  |  p

into something like:

Name | Type

A  |  f

A  |  g

B  |  f

B  |  i

B  |  h

C  |  p

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Anonymous

you can do it like this:

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WclTSUUrTSVeK1YlWcgKzM3UywDxnIK9AKTYWAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Name = _t, Type = _t]),
    ChangedType = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Name", type text}, {"Type", type text}}),
    SplitColumnbyDelimiter = Table.ExpandListColumn(Table.TransformColumns(ChangedType, {{"Type", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter(",", QuoteStyle.Csv), let itemType = (type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true] in type {itemType}}}), "Type")
in
    SplitColumnbyDelimiter
