Calculated column to avoid duplicate UID

I got a table with ID, Year , UID. Below is the sample table.

UIDYear IDFina ID
202023202023202023
202023202023 
202023202023 
202023202023 
202124202124202124
202124202124 
202125202125 
202125202125202125

 Now i need to create a new column ("Final ID"). The issue is that if the UID is repeating then that UID should come only once in the new Column.
Can anyone suggest and idea.

    In excel we can do it by Final ID=IF(A1=C1,"",A1). But how can we do that with Dax.

    Hi unnijoy ,

     

    Try like below:

    let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjIAQmMlHTADRBkrxepQT9jQyAQibAiiTAgKmyIJm+IUjgUA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Country = _t, Category = _t, Year = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Country", type text}, {"Category", type text}, {"Year", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Changed Type", {"Country", "Category"}, {{"Rows", each _, type table [Country=text, Category=text, Year=number, Value=number]}}),
    Indexed = Table.TransformColumns(#"Grouped Rows", {{"Rows", each Table.AddIndexColumn(_,"GroupIndex", 1, 1)}}),
    #"Expanded Rows" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(Indexed, "Rows", {"Year", "GroupIndex"}, {"Year", "GroupIndex"}),
        #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Expanded Rows",{{"Country", "UID"}, {"Year", "ID"}, {"Category", "Year"}})
    in
        #"Renamed Columns"
    Final ID = IF(Table1[GroupIndex] = "1",Table1[UID],BLANK())

     

    If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information and let me know immediately. Looking forward to your reply.


    Best Regards,
    Henry
