Remove duplicates in a numeric column

I have a problem when creating a table in Power BI where showing the ID of a client/user duplicates the rows and I need to show the "last row", the problem is that being a numeric column that option is not there.

I attach here how the repeat customer number looks.

And when you right-click to show the last row, you don't see that option:

Do you have any idea how to display the last or first row of a found value?

Hi @Syndicate_Admin 

 

@lbendlin Thank you very much for your prompt reply.

 

For your question, here is the method I provided:

 

I noticed that the teamleader column and the reta_de_ventas column are changed in your data.

 

Therefore, I would suggest you to group the teamleader column according to it and sort the reta_de_ventas column to achieve displaying the last row of data.

 

Here's some dummy data

 

“Table”

Create measures.

 

Rank = 
VAR _RANK = 
    RANKX(
        FILTER(
            ALL('Table'), 
            'Table'[teamleader] = MAX('Table'[teamleader])
        ), 
        CALCULATE(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[reta_de_ventas])),,ASC,Dense
    )
RETURN _RANK

 

Mark = 
var _maxRank = 
    MAXX(
        FILTER(
            ALL('Table'), 
            'Table'[teamleader] = MAX('Table'[teamleader])
        ), 
        [Rank]
    )
RETURN
IF(
    [Rank] = _maxRank, 
    1, 
    0
)

 

Filter values with a "Mark" of 1.

Sort in the way you need it sorted and then do a DISTINCT on that column.

He won't let me make a DISTINCT in the column because he says he expected a column and I gave him several.
