    Your format is taking the distinct combination of column1, comments and dates combined. So something like:

    column1commentsdate
    1test23/08/2023
    1test224/08/2023

    are being counted as 2 different entries. 

    If you want to keep the latest entry per column 1 value, consider something like:

     

    Table =
    FILTER (
        'TABLE',
        'TABLE'[RecDate]
            = CALCULATE (
                MAX ( 'TABLE'[RecDate] ),
                ALLEXCEPT ( TABLE, 'TABLE'[PartNumber] )
            )
    )

     

    or consider how else you want to determine which of the duplicate values to keep.
