Hello all,
I'm struggling to do this and hope you'll enlighten me.
I want to rename people based on their unique id in our database. So if there is 2 'John Smith' with different id, I want one of them to be call 'John Smith2', but if they have the same id, then 'John Smith'.
Here is a example with the expected result:
last_name first_name ID Expexted result
Smith John 123 John Smith
Smith John 123 John Smith
Smith John 123 John Smith
Smith John 678 John Smith2
Smith John 678 John Smith2
Doe Jane 987 Jane Doe
Doe Jane 987 Jane Doe
Smith John 458 John Smith3

Hello again! Is there a way to add this column in power bi query? It's working well when I do a calculated measure, but I would like to do it directly in query to use this column after with something else, is that possible?
Wow thank you! And so simple too!
