Concatenate single column

[mb0307]

Hi all,

I want to concatenate all values in a column with " prefix and suffix and ,

Example:

Column1

3000

2000

7777

I want result to be:  "3000", "2000", "7777"

I will be using this in Power Query as Input like this:

{Cube.ApplyParameter, "[!V99]", {{ Text.Combine ( CODE ) }}}

Thank you!

Found solution:

     {Cube.ApplyParameter, "[!V99]", {"""" & Text.Combine(TableName[ColName],""", """) & """" }}

Try the following code.

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WUorViVYyNjAwADPAhBEKzxwIlGJjAQ==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t]),
    #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(Source, each ([Column1] <> "")),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Filtered Rows", "Custom", each """"&[Column1]&""""),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Added Custom",{"Column1"}),
    #"Transposed Table" = Table.Transpose(#"Removed Columns"),
    #"Merged Columns" = Table.CombineColumns(#"Transposed Table",{"Column1", "Column2", "Column3"},Combiner.CombineTextByDelimiter(",", QuoteStyle.None),"Merged")
in
    #"Merged Columns"

@Anonymous Thanks but if you see my post then I do not want to create a merged column.  

I am looking to insert concatenate in the code here

{Cube.ApplyParameter, "[!V99]", {{ Text.Combine(CODE TO COMBINE ALL ROWS WITH ""}}},

so the text passed to source system looks like this (WITH ""s):

"3000", "2000", "7777"

Thanks

If you have a list of integers in Table1[Column1], then

= Text.Combine(List.Transform(Table1[Column1], each """" & Number.ToText(_) & """"), ",")

If it's already text, then you just need _ instead of Number.ToText(_).

@AlexisOlson  Thanks

My column is Text already so used _ instead.

But I get this error:

Code:

{Cube.ApplyParameter, "[!V99]", {{ Text.Combine(List.Transform( ForBW[Last Friday of Month], each """" & _ & """"), ",") }}},

Thanks

I think you have an extra set of {} here. Can you check if this works?

{Cube.ApplyParameter, "[!V99]", { Text.Combine(List.Transform( ForBW[Last Friday of Month], each """" & _ & """"), ",") }},

Sorry, I don't know what's causing the error.

Thanks for trying.
