Hi,
Looks like UNION DAX has a bug, its not removing the duplicate data, I tried to do union of two table by using the option to create a new table based on UNION DAX.
Union generally deletes duplicate data between two tables and union all keeps even the duplicate data. Here in Power BI desktop, I don't see the UNION is removing the duplicate data.
Can you guys please confirm, if it is a bug? If it is a bug then when can we expect the resolution?
Thanks & Regards,
Abdul

Hi @AbdulAzad ,
Accoridng to the official document , UNION() returns a table that contains all the rows from each of the two table expressions.
IF you want to union and remove the duplicate data, you can use “distinct() ”to achieve it. The following is an example::
The final output is shown below: UNION() vs DISTINCT(UNION())
newtable1 = UNION('Table','Table (2)') vs newtable2 = DISTINCT(UNION('Table','Table (2)'))

It's not a bug.
"A table that contains all the rows from each of the two table expressions"
"Duplicate rows are retained"
