Delimiting and then combining items
- 3 years ago
Hi decyp_tas,
As per your requirement, you have a report with table including Individual Support column where data is added using comma separated values. So, Power BI allows option to split the column values into either multiple columns or rows.
For your requirement it seems that you need to split the values into separate rows so that visual will show proper data in the report.
Therefore you can follow below steps in your power bi report to spilt up the data from Individual Support column
1. Navigate to Power Query Editor and select the column “Individual Support” as shown in the below screenshot.
2. Within Home section, select Split the Column and option will be “By delimiter” as shown in the below screenshot.
3. This will open the Split Column by Delimiter dialog, so we have to select below listed options:
a. Select or enter delimiter – Custom with value as “, “
b. Split at – Each Occurrence of the delimiter
c. Advanced options – Rows
Please refer to the below screenshot,
4. This will split your column values into rows with delimiter as Comma as shown in the below screenshot,
5. This can have multiple same entries (for example in above example Behaviour have 2 separate entries), so we can group it by Individual Support column so that it will sum up the same rows and have distinct rows in the table. Click on Group By option
If this answer helps, please mark it as Accepted Solution so it would help others to find the solution.

Hello SamInogic ,
I'm very grateful for your support and I feel like I'm now very close. When I group the delimited column I get this:I must be doing something wrong and wonder if you can help me?

Hi decyp_tas,
Is it possible to share a Grouping Expression or Sample pbix file so that I can check the error message and we can fix the error further?
Thanks!
