  • You have to get a new table

    New table = distinct(table[Column])

    You can join your table as dimension

  • You need to create a new table instead of new measure or column. Click new table on modeling tab.

     

    Unique ID = Distinct('sheet1'(IDcolumn))

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    You can try to create a new table:Table2 = DISTINCT('table'[id])
    If necessary, you can also create a relationship for the two tables based on the ID.

    Create new column with below DAX:

    Distinct ID = CALCULATE(DISTINCT(table[IDcolumn]))

        So, create a new table and use DISTINCT('Table'[IDcolumn]).
