Selectively Remove Duplicates
Hi. The column with yellow highlights is the column that I want to remove duplicates. However, if I directly remove the duplicates, it removes the rows randomly. How can I select which one between the two rows that I want to remove the duplicates?
I want to remove the rows which starts with 'WELL..'. Note that I have all alphabets (PA, PB, PC, PD, PL and etc...)

Hi Anonymous ,
Here are the steps you can follow:
1. Create calculated column.
Column = IF( COUNTX(FILTER(ALL('Table'),[column1]=EARLIER([column1])),[column1])>1, IF( LEFT([column2],4)="WELL",1,0), 0)2. Create calculated table.
Table 2 = SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[column1], "column2",CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[column2]),FILTER('Table','Table'[Column]=0)))3. Result:
You can downloaded PBIX file from here.
