Replace repeating/duplicate values with null/blank()

How do I replace all but one repeating/duplicate values in overtime column with null? There are no unique columns to cross reference to.

Thanks.

Oh, well if you had an index it would look something along the lines of:

 

New Column =

  VAR __Value = 'Table'[Overtime]

  VAR __CurrentIndex = 'Table'[Index]

RETURN

  IF(MAXX(FILTER('Table',[Index] = __CurrentIndex - 1),[Overtime])=__Value,BLANK(),__Value)

Create an Index column in Power Query editor. Now you have something to reference.

I am new to power BI. What would the DAX formula for replacing duplicate values look like?

New Column =

  VAR __Value = 'Table'[Overtime]

  VAR __CurrentIndex = 'Table'[Index]

RETURN

  IF(MAXX(FILTER('Table',[Index] = __CurrentIndex - 1),[Overtime])=__Value,BLANK(),__Value)
