create a new table with distinct values of one column, and the value of one other column

Hi,

 

I am struggling to achieve something which seems quite simple!

 

I want to create a new table using DAX with distinct values of one column, and the value of one other column - in the original table there are multiple entries, but each has two different references which are the same of each row.  See below example:

 

Original table

 

Ref1  Ref2  Amount

CDD  ROO    34

CDD  ROO    567

ABB  TEE        467

ABB  TEE        45

 

New Table

 

Ref1  Ref2

CDD  ROO

ABB  TEE

 

I can create the first column just using DISTINCT, but can't seem to return the other value.  I tried LOOKUPVALUE but it returned blanks!

 

Any help greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

 

David
