8 years agoOn Power Query Editor, how to filter rows with the earliest date each name aprears
Hello I merged 4 tables, that have duplicate values, I want to keep only the one that has the earliest date for each "Lote" (ignoring case), how can I fix this? The code I have removes duplicates but not in a defined order:
let
Source1 = Table.AddColumn(PNC_TELA, "Source", each "PNC_TELA"),
Source3 = Table.AddColumn(TONO_MALO, "Source", each "TONO_MALO"),
#"Removed Other Columns" = Table.SelectColumns(Source3,{"Fecha de Ingreso", "Lote", "Defecto 1", "Disposición", "CatCausa", "Causa", "Comentarios", "Proceso Responsable", "Source"}),
Source2 = Table.AddColumn(PNC_PARTES_CORTADAS, "Source", each "PNC_PARTES_CORTADAS"),
Source4 = Table.AddColumn(VARIACION_TONO, "Source", each "VARIACION_TONO"),
SourceMerge = Table.Combine({#"Removed Other Columns",Source4, Source1, Source2}),
#"Filtered Rows1" = Table.SelectRows(SourceMerge, each [Lote] <> null and [Lote] <> ""),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Filtered Rows1",{{"Fecha de Ingreso", type date}}),
#"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type", each true),
#"Remove Duplicates" = Table.Distinct(#"Filtered Rows", { "Lote", Comparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase })
