Combination of dates

Hello

 

I have three date columns in a dataset, which belong to different parameters (date 1 -> P1, P2 - date 2 -> P3, P4 - date 3 -> P5, P6). How can I combine them in a way that I only ended up in a date column (date -> P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6)? I also want to not have any dublication date in the final result. I tried to explain in the screenshots below.

Thank you for your tips on advanced!

Hi @Anonymous ,

Based on your description, you can create a calculated table like this:

New Table =
VAR tab =
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        'Table',
        "Date",
            CALCULATE (
                MAX ( 'Table'[Date 1] ),
                FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Date 1] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Date 1] ) )
            )
    )
VAR tb =
    SUMMARIZE (
        tab,
        [Date],
        [Parameter 1],
        [Paremeter 2],
        [Paremeter 3],
        [Parameter 4],
        [Paremeter 5],
        [Parameter 6]
    )
RETURN
    tb

What I have tried myself is I duplicated the dataset two times, then keep date and related parameters in each dataset (and delete the rest): 

data set 1 => date 1, P1, P2

data set 2 => date 2, P3, P4

data set 3 => date 1, P5, P6

 

Then I changed name of date 1, date 2, and date 3 all to date and appened all three data sets. But I ended up in many dublication dates:
