    Hi, Burubear 

     

    Here is the table. The pbix file is attached in the end.

    Table:

     

    You may go to 'Add Coumn' ribbon, click 'Custom Column', paste the following codes in the 'Custom column formula'.

    =let
teama = 
if [TeamA]="" then "" else "-"&[TeamA],
teamb = 
if [TeamB]="" then "" else "-"&[TeamB],
teamc = 
if [TeamC]="" then "" else "-"&[TeamC],
list = List.Select({teama,teamb,teamc},each _<>"")
in
Text.Combine(list,"#(lf)")

     

     

    Best Regards

    Allan
