How to find duplicate values in one column while another column has different values?
- Anonymous2 years ago
Hi JonKho ,
Based on the information you have provided, it appears that you are trying to identify records that do not have duplicate values in the [merged columns]?
If yes, please refer to the m code below to group and count the table by [Merge Columns] and then filter the count to find the matching records.let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjSwNDNW0gHSBmASyAMxY3UgUoYoUobIUiBdRghdRsRJgQw0RhhoTEAqFgA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Controller_Node_Id = _t, BarCode = _t, #"Merged Column" = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Controller_Node_Id", Int64.Type}, {"BarCode", Int64.Type}, {"Merged Column", Int64.Type}}), #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Changed Type", {"Merged Column"}, {{"Count", each Table.RowCount(_), Int64.Type}, {"Data", each _, type table [Controller_Node_Id=nullable number, BarCode=nullable number, Merged Column=nullable number]}}), #"Expanded Data" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "Data", {"Controller_Node_Id", "BarCode"}, {"Controller_Node_Id", "BarCode"}) in #"Expanded Data"Best Regards,
Gao

Hi,
Write this calculated column formula
Column = if(CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Data[Controller_Node_Id]),FILTER(Data,Data[BarCode]=EARLIER(Data[BarCode])))>1,"Duplicate","Unique")Hope this helps.
Thank you for the reply and it is something that I want. This is what I have done
However, I can't see the results that can be auto-refreshed. I think it is calculated coulmn allows only manual refresh only.
I have create another new measure that represent what I want to do where I can detect, 'Duplicate Found!'
You are welcome.
