how to keep similar descriptions in power bi

Hi,

 

I need to keep the descriptions in a report even if they are the same, is it possible?

@asoria2 , As far I know it is not possible to keep two same values. Even if you use Don't Summarize in a table. This will not work.

You have to keep Branch code or have combined field Branch and Branch Code

 

Branch Name = [Branch] & "("& [ Branch Code]  & ")"

Change the order you have those first two fields listed? Or just remove the first field if you don't need to differentiate using it?
