distance calculation : optimized route mapquest api
Here is some additional instruction
1. Starting with your existing query, group it on the Trip_ID and Start_Location columns, using the Group By button in the ribbon. Call the column "Locations". Choose All Rows as the aggregation.
2. Add a custom column called "ListOfLocations" with this formula - = List.Combine({{[START_LOCATION]}, [Locations][SERVED_LOCATION]})
3. Add a custom column called "ListInQuotes" with this formula - = Text.Combine(List.Transform([ListOfLocations], each """"&_&""""), ", ")
4. Concatenate that new column with the rest of your web call to get your results on each row/for each Trip_ID
If this works for you, please mark it as the solution. Kudos are appreciated too. Please let me know if not.

The image is too blurry to use OCR to pull out the data to test it out. Can you share data copy/pasted from Excel, so I can put it into a query? In any case, from what I can see, it looks very similar to your example data (and already includes the State?). Did you try the query approach I suggested with your actual data?
FYI that I may not respond again until Monday.

Hi mahoneypat,
Actually, it would be great in my case if I could pull out the data directly from my table because the data is evolving and I want to be able to actualize without changing the code (but if it's too complicated, having to do it manually is still better than nothing).
Yes, the real data has a structure very similar to the fake one and already includes the State.
I was able to try the query approach with the steps you described, it worked and gave me the fake data, but I don't know how to adapt the query approach to have my real data.
Thank you very much !
Best regards,
Marion
