Solved! Go to Solution.
@Krishna98
This was a fun little challenge to do. Good news! It will work on any pairing of values: not just the ones you submitted.
//Original collection
ClearCollect(
myCollection,
["SharePoint;Nintex", "Nintex;SharePoint", "SharePoint;Power Platform"]
);
// Solution collection with only unique pairs
ClearCollect(
mySolution,
RenameColumns(
Distinct(
AddColumns(
myCollection,
"SortedValues", Concat(Sort(Split(Value, ";"), Result, Ascending),Result & ";")
),
SortedValues
),
"Result", "Value"
)
)

Thnq So Much @mdevaney
it's working super fine.
may i know the explanation of how this formula working ?
Yes of course Krishna! This is the one line of code that you must understand how-it-works in order to understand the rest
Concat(Sort(Split(Value, ";"), Result, Ascending),Result & ";")
What does it do? It attacks the main problem: you want to remove the duplicates but the pairing could be in any-order. We need the order to be alphabetical (A-to-Z) instead.
"Nintex; SharePoint"
"SharePoint; Nintex"
"SharePoint; Power Platform"
This code breaks the text-strings into tables.
Code:
Split(Value, ";")
Output:
{Result: ["Nintex", "SharePoint"]}, {Result: ["SharePoint", "Nintex"]}, {Result: ["SharePoint", "Power Platform"]}
Then we sort the tables.
Code:
Sort(Split(Value, ";"), Result, Ascending)
Output:
{Result: ["Nintex", "SharePoint"]}, {Result: ["Nintex", "SharePoint"]}, {Result: ["Nintex", "Power Platform"]}
And change them back into a text-string
Code:
Concat(Sort(Split(Value, ";"), Result, Ascending),Result & ";")
Output:
{Result: ["Nintex", "SharePoint"]}, {Result: ["Nintex", "SharePoint"], {Result: ["Nintex", "Power Platform"]}
Now we can remove the duplicates because we know the order will be the same.
Code:
Distinct(
AddColumns(
myCollection,
"SortedValues", Concat(Sort(Split(Value, ";"), Result, Ascending),Result & ";")
),
SortedValues
)
Output:
{Result: ["Nintex", "SharePoint"]}, {Result: ["Nintex", "Power Platform"]}
