How to keep one from two same ids with following rule

[EmilijaN]

Hello,

I have one problem. 

I have one table which looks like this:

I want to put some colunm(after to use like filter) when I find the same id with two different device_names, to choce Samsara. 

I have no blank fields for device_name.

Like in the picture there is id(441233) with Samsara nad Skybitz device_name, I want to deactivate rows where is Skytbits and only to use Samsara(has priority).

Any idea?

Thank youu so much!

Hey @EmilijaN ,

what is the business rule that determines that Samsara has priority over Skytbits?

In this article I describe how I use Power Query to create an index per group, the id: https://www.minceddata.info/2021/06/02/using-power-query-for-data-sampling/

Maybe you can adapt this approach and group by the id column and sort by the device name column, than you can filter for all the rows where the index column equals one.

Hopefully, this provides some ideas on how to tackle your challenge.

Tom
