Duplicate data in Table visualization - Displaying as is Data
Abhaykumar - You could also add an Index column to your query on import so that you have a unique number. Power BI is first and foremost a data aggregation and visualization tool, it sort of assumes you want to DO something with the data, not just display it raw.
That being said, surprisingly, I have not see this posted in Ideas, so I would recommend that you submit it and post the link back here so we can vote for it.

Hi,
@Abhaykumar @v-qiuyu-msft @Greg_Deckler
I'm also facing the similar issue, Is there any solution/update on this?
Thank you
As far as i can see there isn't. It's crazy that this is such a basic thing and cannot be done. Also i don't agree with the point "this is by design". The user should have ultimate control over whether the data is showed "as-is" or being aggregated in any way. So in the worst case, there MUST be a mechanism allowed to turn this off and allow duplicates in the table visual to show. Unreal!
Anonymous well said, and this is unfortunately a thought that comes to mind every day I work with Power BI. However, it is still a great tool, it's just frustrating to see some of these seemingly easy-to-fix issues remain unsolved as time goes on.
