Referencing a table and column together (a table-column reference) constructs a list of all values in that column of that table. Note that if the column itself contains duplicate values, so will the list.
-
Fruits[Name]produces a list of allNamecolumn values from theFruitstable. This is equivalent toSELECT(Fruits[name], TRUE, FALSE). See also:SELECT()
-
Orders[Customer]produces a list of allCustomercolumn values from theOrderstable. Equivalent toSELECT(Orders[Customer], TRUE, FALSE).
-
Order Details[SKU]produces a list of allSKUcolumn values in theOrder Detailstable. Equivalent toSELECT(Order Details[SKU], TRUE, FALSE).
A table-column reference to a column of type List or EnumList will produce a list of lists. To "flatten" the list-of-lists into a single list composed of the values of the component lists, wrap the table-column reference with SPLIT().
-
SPLIT(Employees[Vacation Dates], ",")produces a list of all employee vacation dates.
-
SPLIT(Events[Notification Emails], ",")produces a list of all notification email addresses.
