Splitter.SplitByNothing

Makes a function that does not split: it puts any value whole into a list of one.

Group: Splitters, combiners, replacers and comparers. Power Query M has it too: a query that uses it is written as in Power BI.

Syntax

Splitter.SplitByNothing() as function

It takes no parameters.

Returns

function. A splitter that gives a list holding the value it is given.

Remarks

  • Table.FromList uses it to turn a list into a one-column table, each item a row as it is: dates stay dates, records stay records.

Examples

A list of products as a table

Table.FromList({"Chair", "Desk"}, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), {"Product"})
Product
Chair
Desk

Text with commas is left whole

Splitter.SplitByNothing()("Oslo, Bergen")
{"Oslo, Bergen"}

Not only text

Splitter.SplitByNothing()(#date(2026, 3, 1))
{#date(2026, 3, 1)}

Table.FromList, Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter.
