Display pair once in table

Hi all,

 

I have the following data and I need to display them in a table visualization.

A B Counts
user1 user2 2
user2 user1 2
user3 user1 1
user1 user3 1

 

I would like to display each pair (e.g. user1, user2) only once and skip (user2, user1 pair)

I would greatly appreciate any suggestion.

Hi  @Anonymous ,

 

First create an index column in query editor;

Then create 2 columns as below:

Column = 'Table'[A]&'Table'[B]
Column 2 = 'Table'[B]&'Table'[A]

Then create a measure as below:

Measure = 
 var _previous=CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Column]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Index]<MAX('Table'[Index])))
 Return
IF(_previous=MAX('Table'[Column 2]),BLANK(),MAX('Table'[Counts]))

And you will see:

@Anonymous , This measure along with A and B will only give first combination

calculate(counrows(Table), filter(Table, Table[A] = "User1" && Table[B] = "User2"))

 

And this measure will not give the  second combination

 

calculate(counrows(Table), filter(Table, not(Table[A] = "User2" && Table[B] = "User1")))

@amitchandak  thank you for your quick response.

Unfortunately, based on your suggestion I have to create a measure for each pair.

I have a large dataset, full of such pairs.
