How many duplicate rows deleted? --AND-- see which ones?

When I am building my data model and delete the duplicates in a query, is there a way to see how many duplicate rows will be removed?

 

Also, is there a way to see which rows are to be duplicated?

 

Thank you.

Hello @WillBeeSEA 

 

add a Index-columnn, then remove duplicates without checking the Index-Column. Afterwards you can filter your Original table. Here the M-code

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlTSUXJUitVBZhmhsJzALGO4GIJlApGNBQA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Key = _t, Text = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Key", Int64.Type}, {"Text", type text}}),
    #"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(#"Changed Type", "Index", 0, 1),
    RemoveDuplicates = Table.Distinct(#"Added Index", {"Key", "Text"}),
    RemovedRows = Table.SelectRows(#"Added Index", each not List.Contains(RemoveDuplicates[Index], [Index]))
in
    RemovedRows

 

Copy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works.

You can do a group by (add all the columns as keys), and add a Count column.
