DAX for comparing rows

Hi Community,

 

Following is a snippet of my sample dataset:

ExcelPBI_0-1626944238682.png

I want to compare Apnt date rows and apnt type rows combination. If there is a match then only distinct values are considered in the resultset.

So, with the right calculated column, the result would look like this:

Many thanks in advance!

Hi @Anonymous 

Have you solved this problem?

-

if not, you need to add an index column in your table firstly, or fill the table like bellow,

then, here are 2 ways to remove duplicate rows,

(1) in PQ editor

(2) use DAX

TableTest2 = DISTINCT(TableTest1)

Note: the duplicate rows won't be removed unless you already have an existing way to order them such as an index column added in Power Query or a primary key from a db. 

 

Any question, please let me know. Looking forward to receiving your reply.

@Anonymous , Power bi by default shows distinct values only. Values will not repeat, unless you have unique column

@amitchandak it is data quality issue with my dataset. Power BI doesnt show unique values in this case.

@Anonymous , Create a table with distinct or delete duplicates in power query

 

Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.

 

 

New table = Distinct(Table)
