Is there any way to split values separated by comma in 2 columns together so we can avoid duplicates

[sulaxmi]

I have imported the data in PowerBI from Monday.com using below query -

let
Source = Web.Contents("https://api.monday.com/v2",
[
Headers = [
#"Method" = "POST",
#"Content-Type" = "application/json",
#"Authorization" = "Bearer #your input token"
],
Content = Text.ToBinary("{""query"": ""{ boards (ids: #your board id) { items { id name column_values { title text } } } }""}")
]
),
jsonResponse = Json.Document(Source, 65001),
data = jsonResponse[data],
boards = data[boards],
items = List.First(boards)[items],
#"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(items, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
#"Expanded Column1" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Converted to Table", "Column1", {"id", "name", "column_values"}, {"id", "name", "column_values"}),
#"Expanded column_values2" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Expanded Column1", "column_values"),
#"Expanded column_values1" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Expanded column_values2", "column_values", {"title", "text"}, {"title", "text"}),
#"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Expanded column_values1", List.Distinct(#"Expanded column_values1"[title]), "title", "text")
in
#"Pivoted Column"

However, I want each value from 'Subitems' and 'Status' on a new row, without duplicating any values.

Hi @sulaxmi, similar approach here:

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("jcy9CoMwFIbhW/k48+Ggba2zxh9cROgoGQKJLm1Tktw/PUv3Tu/y8uw7VbWg6xjVTdD32rvAGG0rGAZiMvH1eYYSGMsbW4pnCjkz1ljwKC6V4Bm/R3fnXfYHWVb6IhhHpa6CadI2gnnW5y/I50Ohk6z9Ag==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Subitems = _t, Status = _t, #"Some data" = _t]),
    Ad_Custom = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each List.Transform(
   List.Zip(
     {
       Text.Split([Subitems], ", "),
       Text.Split([Status], ", ")
     }
   ), 
   (x)=> Text.Combine(x, "||")
), type list),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(Ad_Custom,{"Subitems", "Status"}),
    #"Expanded Custom" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Removed Columns", "Custom"),
    #"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Expanded Custom", "Custom", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter("||", QuoteStyle.Csv), {"Subitems", "Status"})
in
    #"Split Column by Delimiter"

Hi @sulaxmi  ,

Please try:

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("jYy7DoMwEAR/ZXX16URCIDWYh9KgSCmRC4OtNCRGxv8vrkmfZqfY0cwzFRdB0zCKm6BtlbXAGOVd0HXEZOJn30IOjMcXzxTfKRwHY4oZr+xSDp7xc1R3TmddybK2r4K+11YpGAZlJRhH/f8qLYuO92TtCQ==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Subitems = _t, Status = _t, Column1 = _t, Column2 = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Subitems", type text}, {"Status", type text}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each Table.Transpose(Table.FromColumns(List.Zip({List.Transform(Text.Split([Subitems],","),Text.Trim),List.Transform(Text.Split([Status],","),Text.Trim)})))),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Added Custom",{"Subitems", "Status"}),
    #"Expanded Custom" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Removed Columns", "Custom", {"Column1", "Column2"}, {"Column1.1", "Column2.1"}),
    #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Expanded Custom",{{"Column1.1", "Subitems"}, {"Column2.1", "Status"}})
in
    #"Renamed Columns"
