Delete duplicates in directquery

[Anonymous]

Hey Community, 

So i'm using directquery mode And I need to delete rows that are (almost) identical, keeping the last row. Example below:

Source:

ID, Type , Type2,

1, A, a

1, A, b

1, B, a

Result:

1, A, b

1, B, a

So I delete One of the first two rows because ID And Type Are equal.

Any ideas How to get this Done?

Hi,@Anonymous 

You can use a measure as visual level filter to meet your needs:

Create a measure like this after you got the sample:

Measure = RANKX(ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[ID],'Table'[Type]),CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Type2])),,DESC)

Then you can put the measure in your visual to filter what you want.

Hope it helps.

@Anonymous , You can delete data in Direct Query. In Visual Take max of Type2 and other two as not summarized

measure = Max(Table[Type2])
