Hello,
I have a column with some values
Exemple :
P1,A,P2
P2,B,C,P1
P3,A,P1,D,E,G
Etc ...
I only want to extract P1, P2 and P3 (the result of what i want to extract is known) to result in
P1,P2
P2,P1
P3,P1
Do you know how to do this ? I have absolutely no idea ...
I thought of if Text in {"P1","P2","P3"} ...
Thank you in advance
Hi @nr63bi ,
Here one way of doing this:
Here the code in Power Query M that you can paste into the advanced editor (if you do not know, how to exactly do this, please check out this quick walkthrough)
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WCjDUcdQJMFKK1QGyjXScdJx1AgwhPGOQjKGOi46rjrtSbCwA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [column = _t]), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each Text.Split([column], ",")), #"Expanded Custom" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Added Custom", "Custom"), #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Expanded Custom", each Text.Contains([Custom], "P1") or Text.Contains([Custom], "P2") or Text.Contains([Custom], "P3")), #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Filtered Rows", {"column"}, {{"newcolumn", each Text.Combine( [Custom], ","), type text}} ) in #"Grouped Rows"
Let me know, if this helps 🙂

You can use the List.Intersect function:
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WCjDUcdQJMFKK1QGyjXScdJx1AgwhPGOQjKGOi46rjrtSbCwA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type text}}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Extract", each
Text.Combine(
List.Intersect(
{Text.Split([Column1],","),{"P1","P2","P3"}})
,","),type text)
in
#"Added Custom"
