I will have multiple TableNAmes in a column...

Hi jaryszek ,
Please try:
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlTSUXJJLcjJr8xNzSsp9k0sUIrViVYywy5sjF3Y0NrI2tjaxNoUu7QRUNjRyRnMNoGxYwE=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t, Column2 = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type text}, {"Column2", type text}}), #"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.ExpandListColumn(Table.TransformColumns(#"Changed Type", {{"Column1", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter(";", QuoteStyle.Csv), let itemType = (type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true] in type {itemType}}}), "Column1"), #"Removed Duplicates" = Table.Distinct(#"Split Column by Delimiter"), #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group( #"Removed Duplicates", {"Column2"}, {{"Combined", each Text.Combine(List.Sort(List.Distinct([Column1])), ";")}}) in #"Grouped Rows"Best Regards,

If this post helps, then please consider Accept it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly.And the problem which i can have also that sometimes
Value can be an array like "1;2;3;4;5" and in this case i should keep whole array plus append missing rows.
So in this case i would append "6" to get "1;2;3;4;5;6"
Best,
JacekYou can do that by creating a Group By step on the Home tab, and then modifying the code in the Formula Bar to match this example. To see how it works, just create a blank query, open the Advanced Editor and replace the text there with the M code below.
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlTSUXJJLcjJr8xNzSsp9k0sUIrViVYywy5sTLzqWAA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t, Column2 = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type text}, {"Column2", type text}}), #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Changed Type", {"Column2"}, {{"Combined", each Text.Combine(List.Sort(List.Distinct([Column1])), ";")}}) in #"Grouped Rows"Pat
Thank you it is working!
One more thing.
Sometimes i will have already created strings as Value like "1;2;3;4;5":
1 DeploymentsMap 6 DeploymentsMap 3 DeploymentsMap 1;2;3;4;5 DeploymentsMap And as result i would like to get
1;2;3;4;5;6 DeploymentsMap
so check if in list value exists, if not append. So check if there is alreadylist, if yes to not have duplicates -->appendto get only uniqes.
what i get using provided formula:
Column2Combined
DeploymentsMap 1;1;2;3;4;5;3;6
Can you please advise also?Best,
Jacek
