Hi @hiken ,
I would do it like so:
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WcjRU0lFyNAIRxiDCRClWJ1rJCSTqBBJ1Aok6QUSdQaLOIFFnkKgzUDQWAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t, Column2 = _t, Column3 = _t, Column4 = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type text}, {"Column2", type text}, {"Column3", type text}, {"Column4", type text}}),
AddFieldValues = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "FieldValues", each Record.FieldValues(_)),
AddPairs = Table.AddColumn(AddFieldValues, "Pairs", each {0..(List.Count([FieldValues])/2)-1}),
AddCombinations = Table.AddColumn(AddPairs, "Combinations", each List.Transform([Pairs], (l)=> Text.Combine(List.Range([FieldValues],(l*2),2), ", "))),
CreateNewTable = Table.FromRows( AddCombinations[Combinations] )
in
CreateNewTable
