Retrieve distinct values by category

Hi Anonymous 

You can do this in Power Query.

Download the PBIX file with the solution.

Create a composite column for Col1+Col2 e.g. A1, A1, A2 etc.  Removing duplicates from this gets rid of multiple A1's etc.

Secondly, by counting the number of times a value in Col1 appears, you can then remove any row where the value only appears once.

This is the code

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WclTSUTJUitVBZxmBWU5AljGY5QxkmcBZpmCWC5BlBmeZYxGDsFyBLAs4yxILy9AAzHQDMYFuiAUA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t, Column2 = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column2", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each [Column1] & Text.From([Column2])),
    #"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom", "Count Val", each List.Count(List.PositionOf(#"Added Custom"[Column1], [Column1] ,2))),
    #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Added Custom1", each ([Count Val] <> 1)),
    #"Removed Duplicates" = Table.Distinct(#"Filtered Rows", {"Custom"}),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Removed Duplicates",{"Custom", "Count Val"})
in
    #"Removed Columns"

This is the resulting table

Hi Anonymous 

If you want a DAX method, it would be:

First add a column in original table to count the unique values in Column2 for each Column1 item.

Then create a new table with
