Hello !

 

I have an issue on my table User with a colunm "Languages" which contain tables. Here 1 row = 1 user

Each table can contain 0-4 rows, 1 row = 1 language

I only need the lookupValue column to get every language for each user but i don't know how to exploit it. If i expand the column i only have 1 column with the first row of each table...

Hi @Arthurle2000 

 

It's possible. First add a custom column with Table.Column([Languages],"lookupValue")

Then expand above custom column and select "Extract Values...". Select a delimiter per your need.

Finally split above column with the delimiter you selected.

Hi !

 

Thank you for your reply, it works well but i would like to have 4 columns ( 1 for each language ) instead of having multiples rows for each user. Is that possible ?

Hi @Arthurle2000 

 

How did you expand the table column? You may try the following operation to expand it. Is the final result what you want?

Hello, if I want to spand a table and there are spaces that have more than 1 value, it duplicates the ID in order to spand it. I want that if have more than one it separetes with a coma.

 

For example: 

 

Powerbiasks_0-1687365295476.png

Powerbiasks_1-1687365384674.png

 

For example the ID 201 that have more than one user it creates more than one line for the same ID

I need that in this cases the 2 mails keept in one line separed by a comma
