row duplication when expanding a table column
In query when expanding a table column, rows duplicate like this:
becomes
I understand why this happens, but is there any way to instead of duplicating the rows, have it so that it does this instead:
any sort of solution that does this would be appreciated - including using DAX or something. (It doesnt have to be a comma, just did that for the example)
My data source is sharepoint online - Column 2 source is a choice column which allows multiple values, hence the table. for each row.

Hi,
Try adding a column in Power Query before expanding the Column 2:
= Text.Combine(Table.Column([Column 2], "Fruit"), ", ")
where "Fruit" is the name of the column in the table that is concatenated and needs to be changed to match your data setup.
Hope this helps,

worked brilliantly.
thank you
Create a measure in DAX like:
Measure = CONCATENATEX(VALUES(Apples[Column2]),[Column2],",")
Create a table visualization of Column1 and this measure.
This did not work - when creating a measure it did not allow this expression, many errors.
