Using CONCATENATEX to combine multiple rows by project ID

I have a list of projects and for each project there can be more than one risk.  My goal is to combine the risks by project rather than combine all of the risks into a single entry.  Is there a basic...

    Hey mstone , 

    Can you try to copy and paste one of the following expressions?

     

    Combined column = CALCULATE(CONCATENATEX(DIM_PROJECT_RISK, [RiskTitle], UNICHAR(10)), ALLEXCEPT(DIM_PROJECT_RISK, DIM_PROJECT_RISK[ProjectId]))

     

    AsMeasure = CALCULATE(CONCATENATEX(VALUES(DIM_PROJECT_RISK[RiskTitle]), [RiskTitle], UNICHAR(10)), ALLEXCEPT(DIM_PROJECT_RISK, DIM_PROJECT_RISK[ProjectId]))

     

    Here is a link you can download to a sample: https://1drv.ms/u/s!An8CCFsOzw0uhQYExSCu5Hj9NDon?e=7B3enE

Sorry for the delay.  Here is an example of what it looks like now and how I would like it to look:  

ProjectID

Risks

PRJ6319

Risk 1

PRJ6320

Risk 1

PRJ6320

Risk 2

PRJ6320

Risk 3

PRJ6321

Risk1

PRJ6321

Risk 2

 

 

 

 

ProjectID

Risks

 

PRJ6319

Risk 1

 

PRJ6320

Risk 1

Risk 2

Risk 3

 

PRJ6321

Risk 1

Risk 2

hi mstone ,

 

You can use the CONCATENATEX function. Please see the measure below with expected output:

Risks := CONCATENATEX(Risks, Risks[Risks], UNICHAR(10))

    Thank you, hnguy71!  Will that parse them by projectID?  The orginal data is not in sequence.  It consists of different risk statements.  I'll give it a try.

      Using that syntax, I ended up with all entries from all projects combined in one list rather than parsed by project.  Is there something I can do to modify the formula?

      Combined column = CONCATENATEX(DIM_PROJECT_RISK,DIM_PROJECT_RISK[RiskTitle],unichar(10))

        Hi mstone ,

         

        that's interesting, it should group them out on it's own. Try this instead:

         

         

        Risks := CALCULATE(CONCATENATEX(Risks, Risks[Risks], UNICHAR(10)), ALLEXCEPT(Risks, Risks[ProjectID]))

         

         

        Btw, ProjectID and Risks both needs to be in the same visual for this to work.
