Remove Duplicates in GRID
- 7 years ago
Hi sabeensp ,
Potential workaround is shown here if you are able to use the Table visual.
See last table for final result requested
You need to add an index to your table and then add a column with this code:
Previous Value = var thisColumn1 = 'DataColumns'[column1] var thisIndex= 'DataColumns'[Index] var thisPrevIndex = CALCULATE( MAX('DataColumns'[Index]) ,FILTER(ALL('DataColumns') ,'DataColumns'[column1] = thisColumn1 && 'DataColumns'[Index] < thisIndex ) ) var thePreviousValue = CALCULATE( MAX('DataColumns'[column1]) ,FILTER(ALL('DataColumns') ,'DataColumns'[column1] = thisColumn1 && 'DataColumns'[Index] = thisPrevIndex ) ) VAR displayValue = IF ( 'DataColumns'[Index] <> 0 && thePreviousValue = thisColumn1 , BLANK(), thisColumn1 ) return displayValueThen create a measure to use the conditional fomatting for the column:
colorKPI = SWITCH( TRUE() , MAX (DataColumns[column1] ) = MAX (DataColumns[Previous Value]), "#000000", "#FFFFFF")
Finally , use both field fomratting and conditional formatting to format the colours accordingly.
I have uploaded the file also for you to see.
Note , when you sort by the other columns the order fo Column1 obiviously changes and this may not be an acceptable solution for you, however it is a potential workaround.

Hi sabeensp ,
You could submit your idea in Power BI ideas Froum and add your comments there to improve Power BI and make this feature coming sooner.
Additional workaround for your requirement, you may could try Matrix in Power BI like below.
You could drag column1 and column2 in Row field and turn off the stepped layout of the Row headers.
Hope this can help you!

Is the visual you shared what you want your end product to look like or is that what is currently being displayed? I am uncertain what exactly your end product should look like.
AnonymousEnd product shouodl like the one on the right, where COL1 values are not repeating. SO, if COL1 has value A 20 times, I would like to see A only once and COl2 values for each of other 19 rows to show

So I tried throwing your sample data into a matrix, turning off the stepped rows but the matrix is automatically removing the duplicates. I'll do some research and see if I can find a solution.

Hi,
I don't think that is possible.

I think we should make a recommendation to MSFT.
