Hi, @amalrio 

It’s my pleasure to answer for you.

According to your description,If you don’t want to change the data model, you can create a measure(Combine strings by way of newlines) to meet your requirement.

Like this:

Measure = CONCATENATEX(FILTER('Table',[text]<>""),[text],"

")

If it doesn’t solve your problem, please feel free to ask me.

@v-janeyg-msft ,

Thanks a lot, this works perfect, 

I will accpe this as a  solution, also would there be a way I can sort my column order by default it comes as Base Case, Clouser and Optionality, 

But I want the column in below order, 

Base Case, Optionality and Clouser,  I have an ID for each of these ones but when I try to sort by in the data model it gives me error of not unique values (which is correst as I have multiple values of  those names,) is there a way to overcome this sorting issue.,

Thanks heaps

Hi, @amalrio 

You can add a new custom column in pq to sort.

Try like this:

let 
    l = List.Sort( List.Distinct(#"Changed Type"[Name])),
    tab = Table.FromList(l, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
    newtab = Table.AddIndexColumn(tab, "Index", 1, 1, Int64.Type),
    i1 = Table.Max(Table.SelectRows(newtab,each [Index]=1),"Index")[Column1],
    i2 = Table.Max(Table.SelectRows(newtab,each [Index]=2),"Index")[Column1],
    i3 = Table.Max(Table.SelectRows(newtab,each [Index]=3),"Index")[Column1],
    i4 = Table.Max(Table.SelectRows(newtab,each [Index]=4),"Index")[Column1],
    x = 
    Table.Combine({
        Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type",each [Name]=i1),
        Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type",each [Name]=i3),
        Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type",each [Name]=i2),
        Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type",each [Name]=i4)

    })
in x

Here is my sample .pbix file. Hope it helps.
