Advocate IIHow to union items from two columns of same table
I have a table with 2 columns that I want to union like this: Column 1 Column 2 Union apple, orange, aple apple, lemon apple, orange, lemon Is there a custom formula I can write?...
You can add a custom column with this function. Prior to this step, you can Replace Values and put a space and no value in the 2nd box to get rid of the spaces first if needed.
= Text.Combine(List.Distinct(Text.Split([Column1], ",") & Text.Split([Column2], ",")), ", ")

Advocate IISimple method, but this does not give me distinct lists. Thanks though!
Sorry, I didn't read the specs right 🙂 however, starting from this result you can use functions
Text.Split
List.Distinct
and
Text.Combine
