Hi,
Wondering if you can help. It sounds easy but i am having trouble doing it.
So i have a table with once column as below
Value list
a
b
c
I need to create a new column in the same table and concatenate value list in a new column to read as below:
[a,b,c] . This will be in one cell in the new column.
Thanks for your help.
Regards
V
Solved! Go to Solution.
NewStep=Table.AddColumn(PreviousStepName,"Custom",each "["&Text.Combine(PreviousStepName[sup],",")&"]")
Thanks for your help. it worked.
Use following
=Text.Combine([Data],",")
Where Data is the name of the column which holds the list
Hi Vijay,
Thanks for your promp response.
Unfortunately i am getting an error using your formula. I have 63 items ( this can increase in the future) and i need to combine all these values starting with a square bracket followed by each item followed by a comma and a closing square bracket at the end. i.e. [a,b,c,d,e,f]
Am i getting a error due to the lenght of the string perhaps?
Can you please post the screenshot of your error?
NewStep=Table.AddColumn(PreviousStepName,"Custom",each "["&Text.Combine(PreviousStepName[sup],",")&"]")
