append columns

How can I combine S_Cell1, S_Cell2, S_Cell3 into one column S_Cell1,2,3 and keep the other related column data with it.

Example shown below in Before and After

@PSB This is a DAX calculated table. It is probably doable in Power Query as well, but that will take me a minute to figure out. Give me a few minutes.

This is good solution. It will work but can it be done using tranformation in edit query?

or can this result be available in Edit Query window for applying more tranformations?

Sorry if I am not able to explain well. I'm new to Power BI.

@PSB OK, here is the Power Query code:

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("pY9BDsIwDAS/gnLuIet1nOTYK1L5QNX/f4M6AkoQiAgOtrJ2PF6va1gu52hVMUuYwnwXxLOSTsEVCNXiL+4htD2nUgmJYZs+YYEvSw6szynKEPaNv37JgW2OcxrHnm4BKoXeZ/R60rGTXyCSU+UDIs3dD06sxgZxlGn+D+K/LHfnbFc=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [S_NodeId = _t, S_Cell1 = _t, S_Cell2 = _t, S_Cell3 = _t, T_gnb = _t, T_cid = _t, T_nRPCI = _t, T_nRTAC = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"S_NodeId", type text}, {"S_Cell1", type text}, {"S_Cell2", type text}, {"S_Cell3", type text}, {"T_gnb", Int64.Type}, {"T_cid", Int64.Type}, {"T_nRPCI", Int64.Type}, {"T_nRTAC", Int64.Type}}),
    Column1 = Table.RenameColumns(Table.SelectColumns(#"Changed Type", { "S_NodeId", "S_Cell1", "T_gnb", "T_cid", "T_nRPCI", "T_nRTAC"}),{{"S_Cell1", "S_Cell1,2,3"}}),
    Column2 = Table.RenameColumns(Table.SelectColumns(#"Changed Type", { "S_NodeId", "S_Cell2", "T_gnb", "T_cid", "T_nRPCI", "T_nRTAC"}),{{"S_Cell2", "S_Cell1,2,3"}}),
    Column3 = Table.RenameColumns(Table.SelectColumns(#"Changed Type", { "S_NodeId", "S_Cell3", "T_gnb", "T_cid", "T_nRPCI", "T_nRTAC"}),{{"S_Cell3", "S_Cell1,2,3"}}),
    AppendTables = Table.Combine( { Column1, Column2, Column3}),
    #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(AppendTables, each ([#"S_Cell1,2,3"] <> " "))
in
    #"Filtered Rows"

@PSB Try:

Table 2 = 
FILTER(
    UNION(
        SELECTCOLUMNS('Table',"T_cid",[T_cid],"T_gnb",[T_gnb],"T_nRPCI",[T_nRPCI],"T_nRTAC",[T_nRTAC],"S_Cell1,2,3",[S_Cell1]),
        SELECTCOLUMNS('Table',"T_cid",[T_cid],"T_gnb",[T_gnb],"T_nRPCI",[T_nRPCI],"T_nRTAC",[T_nRTAC],"S_Cell1,2,3",[S_Cell2]),
        SELECTCOLUMNS('Table',"T_cid",[T_cid],"T_gnb",[T_gnb],"T_nRPCI",[T_nRPCI],"T_nRTAC",[T_nRTAC],"S_Cell1,2,3",[S_Cell3])
    ),
    [S_Cell1,2,3] <> BLANK()
)
