You have to get a new table

New table = distinct(table[Column])

You can join your table as dimension

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.

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

 

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

@Anonymous ,

 

Create new column with below DAX:

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

Thanks for your rpl but I am not getting distinct values instead I am getting same values as it was there in ID column.

 

@Anonymous ,

 

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