    When you first import you data into PowerBI, choose EDIT instead of OK.  Or you can hit 'Edit Queries' from the Home Tab.  This takes you into the Query Editor.  From here, highlight your LicenseKey column, and choose 'Keep Rows' 'Keep Duplicates' from the ribon.  This will only keep rows with duplicate values.  Just make sure LicenseKey is clicked and highlighted first.

      Hi ianwuk

       

      Please add the following calculated column to your table (and adjust the name of the table to yours)

       

      License Duplicates = CALCULATE(
                            DISTINCTCOUNT('Table1'[License]),
                            FILTER(
                                ALL('Table1'),
                                'Table1'[ID] = EARLIER(Table1[ID])
                                )
                               )

      This will return a number that indicates how many other distinct licenses share the same ID which you can use in a filter.

        Hello Phil_Seamark, I tried what you suggested but I cannot get it to work.  I think I am doing it wrong.

         

        Here is a better example of what I want to do.

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

         

        How can I filter it so that only license keys in the licensekey column that are highlighted above appear because the license key is duplicate?

         

        Many thanks.
