Calculated column with a entries for each order from different table

Hi all!

I have a Sales Master table that contains for each order 1 row:

Order Nr Value
1 5
2 6

 

Then I have a transaction table with multiple rows for each sales order:

Order Nr Text
1 ABC
1 ABC
1 ADF
1 KIG
2 B

 

Now I would like to add a calculated column to the sales master that contains all distinct text entries for each order from the second table, seperated with a commata.

 

How is this possible?

You are right. Please try

NewColumn =
CONCATENATEX (
    CALCULATETABLE ( VALUES ( transaction[Text] ) ),
    transaction[Text],
    UNICHAR ( 10 ),
    transaction[Text], ASC
)

Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension!

DAX is simple, but NOT EASY!

Hi @joshua1990 

assume that you have a one to many relationship between the two tables based on [Prder Nr] columns then

NewColumn =
CONCATENATEX (
    RELATEDTABLE ( transaction ),
    transaction[Text],
    UNICHAR ( 10 ),
    transaction[Text], ASC
)

@tamerj1 : Thanks a lot! Yes, there is a 1:n relation between both tables.

It works, but not in the way I would like to see. I get as a string all values now, but I would like to get just distinct / unique values. How can I exclude duplictes here?

)
