I got a table with ID, Year , UID. Below is the sample table.
| UID | Year | ID | Fina ID |
| 202023 | 2020 | 23 | 202023 |
| 202023 | 2020 | 23 | |
| 202023 | 2020 | 23 | |
| 202023 | 2020 | 23 | |
| 202124 | 2021 | 24 | 202124 |
| 202124 | 2021 | 24 | |
| 202125 | 2021 | 25 | |
| 202125 | 2021 | 25 | 202125 |
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.
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

@v-henryk-mstf , Mine is a calculated table. so it won;t come in Query Editor... Can you tell me how i can add the group index column.
In excel we can do it by Final ID=IF(A1=C1,"",A1). But how can we do that with Dax.
