Calculated Column duplicates

Hi,

 

Would somebody please be able to help me with a calculated column to check in a fact table, if two columns are the same then 1, but if they have already existed once then 0 like in the image below in the output column.

 

Deleting duplicates can't happen as these are rows of data with more columns.

 

Row 1Row 2Output
111
221
220
331
220

 

Thanks

 

Liam

You would need an Index column for that to define "before". If you had that you could do this:

 

Column = 
  VAR __Table = FILTER('Table',[Row 1] = EARLIER([Row 1]) && [Row 2] = EARLIER([Row 2]) && [Index] < EARLIER([Index])
RETURN
  IF(COUNTROWS(__Table) > 0,0,1)
