Hello experts,
How to find repetitious value in the column name and then enter them with their path to a new table?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @koorosh, the easiest way is to add "calculated column" to your table to count current name occurences:
CountName =
VAR _NameOnACurrentRow = 'Table'[Name] //Name at currently iterating row
RETURN
COUNTROWS( //needs to aggregate the table (i.e. find number of rows)
FILTER(
'Table', //all table "Table"
[Name] = _NameOnACurrentRow //filtered with a value of currently iterating row
)
)
This will give you the following table:
Now, when creating a new table the only thing you need to do is to filter this table:
Here is DAX code:
Repetitive values =
FILTER(
'Table',
[CountName] > 1
)
If you prefer you can avoid creation of calculated column by combining steps in new table definition
Repetitive values =
VAR _TableWithCount =
ADDCOLUMNS(
'Table',
"@CountName",
VAR _CurrentName = 'Table'[Name]
RETURN
COUNTROWS(
FILTER(
'Table',
[Name] = _CurrentName
)
)
)
RETURN
FILTER(
_TableWithCount,
[@CountName] > 1
)
Good luck with your work! 🙂

Hi Sergii,
The first calculated column make the following result:
And the create table make the following:
But now we have a table with duplicated rows. We need just one row for John and one row for Mike???
It should be as the following
