How to Make a Number and Comma combination from a single number in Formula or Other?

I've attached an Alteryx workflow for reference, essentially I can't quite think of a way to write a formula that will generate a number and comma combination from a single number.

What I am looking for is:

Input

Input - Single numberOutput - Each number going up to the number with a comma in between. No comma at end
41,2,3,4
51,2,3,4,5
61,2,3,4,5,6
71,2,3,4,5,6,7

 

Has anyone done this before and how was it done? I'm thinking that I have to do some multi row formula but I'd really like to have it done in Formula. An option I am thinking of is to use a for loop in the Formula tool itself is that possible?

Hey @JessicaXChung, you can generate rows up to the number in your reference field. After that, just convert the new field to a string data type and you can concatenate the values in a Summarize tool, grouping on your original field:
