Helper IIIRemove rows in Power Query based on duplicates in one column and a specific value in another
Hi All
I have a table that has duplication in the rows with the exception of 1 column. I've tried to remove certain rows by maniplating some examples which I found but am having trouble trying to get the end result I need.
What I'm trying to do in power query is to remove the entire row if there are any duplicates in the "itemid" column and there is also a "D" in the "Status" column. Here is a before and after look of what I'm trying to do...
Would anyone know if or how I can achieve this?
Thanks

Hi,
This is my solution based on the sample data :
1- I created the Duplicated columns for the ItemId and Status
2- Merge created columns (Copy-Itemid and Copy-Status)
3- Sort rows Ascending on the Merged column :
4- Select the Columns (as below) and remove the duplicated records :
Also, you could delete the merged column
Appreciate your Kudos and please mark it as a solution if it helps you.
