Sort data by day
Hi Manasi25 ,
Refer to the steps below. In PowerQuery, first sort by the number column, and then select the Alert column and Date column to remove duplicates.

I created table with only on column. and its giving me below error.
Okay, thats fine, what if I want to remove all duplicates and keep row of the alert which alerted first by date and time.
Add a calculated column to rank the alerts by date and time:
AlertRank =
RANKX(
FILTER(
'YourTable',
'YourTable'[Date] = EARLIER('YourTable'[Date]) &&
'YourTable'[Alert] = EARLIER('YourTable'[Alert])
),
'YourTable'[Time], // Assuming you have a 'Time' column
,Create a new table that keeps only the first occurrence of each alert per day:
FirstAlertTable =
FILTER(
'YourTable',
'YourTable'[AlertRank] = 1
)
This approach uses the RANKX function to rank the alerts by date and time, and then filters the table to keep only the first occurrence of each alert per day. If you do not have a time column, you can rank by the date alone.It doesn't make any difference with my actual data. I want to keep row from "Alert" col by day.
Want to remove duplicates. Keep the only one alert which has 5 duplicates entry in a day. Same for another could happen, but want entry only 1 for each day.
