Identify duplicates

All,

i have this table 

rafterse_0-1748402426463.png

i want to identify the duplicates in column called skill by each "Name"

 

Output would need to look like this 

rafterse_1-1748403044925.png

so if the person has two skills based on their position the low "Pay Tier " line calls out the higher "Pay Tier"

 

not fussed if i do it in power query or power bi. 

 

thanks in advance

create a new calculated column with following DAX.

Duplicate Skill =
var _Value =
MAXX(
    FILTER(
        'Table',
        'Table'[Name]=EARLIER('Table'[Name])&&
        'Table'[Skill]=EARLIER('Table'[Skill])&&
        'Table'[Pay Tier]<EARLIER('Table'[Pay Tier])
    ),
    'Table'[Pay Tier]
)
Return
IF(
    not ISBLANK(_Value),
    CONCATENATE("In Pay Tier ",_Value)
)

 

i assumed 'Pay Tier' is in the original table. Otherwise, please share how to define 'Pay Tier' column.

 

Hope this will help.

Thank you.
