    Hi Tober1996 ,

     

    Please try grouping like this:

    Add a step in the advanced editor after expanding the table:

    Table.SelectRows(#"Expanded expand",each([Max]=[expand.flow_id]))

    Sample .pbix

    Best Regards,
    Liang

    Hi together, thank you very much! The advanced grouping ist the solution, but it is not needed to write the extra code to see the other columns. You only have to press the button with the two arrows in the headline of the new column. than all existings columns expand and are shown again. ğŸ˜„

You can use Group By in the query editor to group on ID and get the max Process Order.

Alternatively, you could creat a subgroup index on process order for each ID, and then filter to "1" on the new index column.  See this article on creating a subgroup index.

If this works for you, please mark it as solution.  Kudos are appreciated too.  Please let me know if not.
