Hi,
I am actually looking for a DAX query which can help me give a combination of unique values of two columns. Let me illustrate an example on the same.
item no | description | amount
1 | good | 20
1 | good | 21
1 | bad | 30
2 | good | 50
I need the table that gives me the uniqe combination of item no and description. Like
item no | description
1 | good
1 | bad
2 | good
I have used the summarizecolumns but still it gives me certain duplicates. Can someone help me on the same?

Hi @sid-poly ,
I have tried @amitchandak approach, when I add up the description It doesn't get duplicated.
Table 2 = SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[item no],'Table'[description])
If I have misunderstood your meaning, please provide more sample data and your desired output.

@sid-poly , If you put them in table visual it will give, bot should be non/un summarized
item no, description
or create a new table = summarize(Table, [item no],[description])
Hi @amitchandak
I have done it but eventually when I have only item number I have correct values, but when I add up the description It gets duplicated.
I see that is because item no remains same and description changes, I want to pick the first one from here.
Can you help me on the same?
@sid-poly , You can use a measure for description, Min(Table[description])
Can you share exactly what is needed and what you are getting now? above is by default power bi
