Hi,
I have a column with comma seperated values like
1. | a,b,c,d |
2. | b,c,d,a |
3. | a,d,b,c |
4. | a,b,c |
5. | b,c,a |
I don't care about the order. Rows 1,2 & 3 are the same and row 4&5 are the same. Just the alphabets are jumbled. I want to retain the rows but I want the values to be in the same order and not jumbled.. How do I organize this column so its not jumbled?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @newpi
You can create a new calculated column using DAX. Here is a sample file with the solution https://www.dropbox.com/t/1KQTM2trlplD0Gnw
Values Correct Order =
VAR String = Data[Values]
VAR ConvertPath = SUBSTITUTE ( String, ",", "|" )
VAR Length = PATHLENGTH ( ConvertPath )
VAR T1 = GENERATESERIES ( 1, Length, 1 )
VAR T2 = ADDCOLUMNS ( T1, "@Items", PATHITEM ( ConvertPath, [Value] ) )
RETURN
CONCATENATEX ( T2, [@Items], ",", [@Items], ASC )
@tamerj1 I'm getting an error "The arguments in GenerateSeries function cannot be blank."
What am I missing? Also I'm creating a new column in the table and the using this formula and my values in the column are not of equal length, meaning its more like ( a, abc, ab) etc.
@newpi
You have blank values. Please use https://www.dropbox.com/t/47luIKUpiLZmAFIO
Values Correct Order =
VAR String = Data[Values]
VAR ConvertPath = SUBSTITUTE ( String, ",", "|" )
VAR Length = COALESCE ( PATHLENGTH ( ConvertPath ), 1 )
VAR T1 = GENERATESERIES ( 1, Length, 1 )
VAR T2 = ADDCOLUMNS ( T1, "@Items", PATHITEM ( ConvertPath, [Value] ) )
RETURN
CONCATENATEX ( T2, [@Items], ",", [@Items], ASC )
Thanks @tamerj1 but now getting a new error.
Cannot convert value 'Remote Work' of type Text to type Integer.
"Remote Work" is one of the values (ab c)
Good morning @newpi
I have tried all types of texts I could think of but failed to simulate the error you receive. Please share some sample data including the line that generates the error so I can simulate it and fix it. Thank you.
