Concatenatex with Distinct column values

Hi,

I am summarizing data from one table into another. Part of the data in the original table is a column of type text which I generate a comma delimited summary string.

 

Issues =  
    var ft = FILTER(RELATEDTABLE(Data), 
                  [ID] = Data[ID] && Data[Result] <> "Pass" && 
                  Not ISBLANK(TRIM(Data[Issue]))) 
    var issuessummary = CONCATENATEX(ft, Data[Issue], ",")
return 
     issuessummary


This works perfectly but I realized that the return values can be duplicate, so a result value string for issuessummary could equal "ABC", "DEF", "ABC", "xyz". I would like to remove the duplicate in the return string to represent "ABC", "DEF", "xyz".


Is there a way to accomplish that?

Regards,
Sunil

Hey There bugs84,

 

I think this might help:

 

ListProductTypes = CALCULATE(CONCATENATEX(VALUES('Table'[ProductType]),'Table'[ProductType],","))

Hi all,

I'm looking for the same...

 

ListProductTypes = CONCATENATEX(Table;Table[ProductType];", ")

 

how can I get only distinct ProductType values?

Hey There bugs84,

 

I think this might help:

 

ListProductTypes = CALCULATE(CONCATENATEX(VALUES('Table'[ProductType]),'Table'[ProductType],","))

This does not work in the OP's case

Very good, thanks!
