Power Query Duplicating rows(twice/trice)

Hi All,

I have a excel file, haveing multiple sheets(Jan, Feb..ect) with some tasks assigned to team.

If specific person completed the task i am caturing Done aganist the task and X for imcomplete/not attempted task.

No dates is available in data.

No while uploading the file into Power BI Desktop, a single record showing twice/thrice. However, no duplicate entry available in source file. In soruce file, tasks are same in every months & people will be also same but with different task assigned.

Need your help to know the reason.

below are the SS of source file & PBI

Signle record shwoing twice

 

  • Hi hasharma19 
    It seems that there are merged tables cause the duplicating.
    You can concatenate the name with the month and remove duplicates from PQ.

    Result :

    The pbix is attached

    *The merged step can be removed, the steps of PQ will repeat themselves every refresh
