Editor: how to remove duplicates selectively based on the condition

Hi All,

 

I use PowerBI to analyze efficiency of our mass email campaigns. I get a table that contains all emails that were sent.

 

Each row is for one email message to one email address, e.g.:

 

[email protected]  1st email 4/5/19

[email protected] 2nd email 4/7/19

[email protected] 3rd email 4/9/19

 

I aslo see if the email was openned, clicked, replied (I have the corresponding date and time columns. they are empty if no action).

 

I have a column with the email number I sent, e.g. 1 for the first email, 2 for the second etc.

 

Also, I have a column that aggregates dates of the interaction with my emails (either open or click or reply or unsubscribe date).

 

I want to get a list with unique email addresses with the lattest interaction (if any happened).

 

I tried to sort by filter by Interaction date and then remove duplicates in Editor. However, I always get the list with the number 1 email in the list.

 

I use this table to merge with the other one so it is important for me to have the unique emails, but it would be awesome if I could get the latest interaction date for further analysis.

 

Any ideas how to accomplish it?

  • Hello,

     

    It feels difficult to answer without a clear table structure, but one idea you can try in Power Query would be to make a Group by email address and define the new column as Max of Interaction Date.

      Here is what I did:

        Hello,

         

        Reacted Date should not be in the grouping but only in the new column part.
