Remove Duplicates based on all the tables

Hi,

 

 

I need to remove duplicates for the entire table as in Excel. Is it possible? I tried removed duplicates, selecting the entire table

Hower, then it shows in red.

 

Also is it possible to see which duplicates the query delete?

 

Thanks,

 

Clara

Thanks for @Greg_Deckler 's reply.
Hi @clarainesgg ,


Are there any duplicate rows in your table?

 

If the table does not have any duplicate rows, whether you use Remove Duplicates in Power Query to de-duplicate the entire table or DAX: DISTINCT(Table).
Neither of these will work.

@clarainesgg If you select the first column, hold down shift and select the last column and then right-click and remove duplicates, it should remove duplicate rows. I don't believe it is possible to see which duplicates the query removed. The step in Advanced Editor is:

 

#"Removed Duplicates" = Table.Distinct(#"Changed Type")
