How to filter off 'duplicate' records
I have a table of quiz submissions as show below and I need to discard the student records with Incomplete status (#5) if there is already a record with Submitted status (#4)
How can I do this in Power Query ?
Hello !
you need create in Power Query table with name "Result_Table" and List with name "Submited_list"
code for its items bellow.table with name "Base_Table" - it is your table from topic start
Submited_list
let Source = Base_Table, #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(Source, each ([Status] = "Submited")), Custom1 = #"Filtered Rows"[Name] in Custom1
Result_Tablelet Source = Base_Table, #"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Completed_List", each List.Contains(Submited_list, [Name])), #"Added Conditional Column" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom1", "check", each if [Completed_List] = true and [Status]<>"Submited" then 0 else 1), #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Added Conditional Column", each ([check] = 1)), #"Removed Other Columns" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Filtered Rows",{"SN", "Name", "Status"}) in #"Removed Other Columns"I hope it will help you π

Thanks for the solution. The List.Contains( ) is the look up function that I was looking for !
