Finding duplicates

[Oros]

Hello,

I have 2 tables that show locations for each product.  I have a result table that put together the locations.

What should be the correct measure or column to identify (and count) duplicate records in the result table?  Thanks.

Hello,

The correct way to put together the data from the two tables, is to use Append Queries option to get a table like the following (with two repeated rows to remove):

Product	Location
Product A	200-A1
Product A	200-A2
Product B	400-A1
Product A	200-A1
Product B	400-A1

Then you can just apply Remove Duplicates on the table.

Hi @Oros ,

Thanks @Zang_Mi  for sharing, here are some suggestions, I hope they can be helpful to you.

1. Create a measure to count products, and mark products greater than or equal to 2 as 1.

Measure =
VAR _cou = CALCULATE(COUNT(result[Product]),FILTER(ALL(result),'result'[Product] = MAX('result'[Product])))
RETURN
IF(_cou >= 2,1,0)

2. Click the small arrow next to the product field to set conditional formatting for its background color.

3. The final result is shown in the figure below.

If your Current Period does not refer to this, please clarify in a follow-up reply.

Best Regards,

Clara Gong

hI @Zang_Mi,

Thank you for your reply.  The only thing is that I would like to show (highlight) on the table the duplicates.  Is it possible to highlight those duplicate records showing on the result table?  Thanks again.
