Use Collect and Distinct in one function

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi

I want to get a collection which is containing the input from an sql tabel, but as well distinct values of one single column from the same table. 
ClearCollect(StructureCollection;ShowColumns(Distinct('[dbo].[Structure]';"Entity_Key");"Entity_Key"));;
Collect(StructureCollection;'[dbo].[Structure]')

So the output should be the table and distinct values of one column, where all the other columns are empty. 

Can anyone come up with an idea of solving this problem?

    Hi,

     

    yes you can do that as below

     

    ClearCollect(colStructure,'[dbo].[Structure]');
ClearCollect(
colStructureFinal,
 AddColumns(
colStructure,
 "DistinctColumn",
 Concat(Distinct(colCaseList,'Entity_Key'),Result&" ,")
 )
);

    If this answers your question mark it as verified and give a thumbs up
