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.
Best Regards,
Dengliang Li

yes, i did that. However, it doest 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")
