Hi,

 

In the Query Editor, click on the 5th column and go to Transform > Fill > Down.  Now select the first 4 columns, right click > Remove Duplicates.

 

Hope this helps.

Thanks Ashih for the reply but the solution you proposed is not working, removing duplicates removed the correct row too.  see below

Hi Basker do you know how can I group by without affecting the master table. If I group by that table it will going to impact on other reports. 

 

Thanks one again.

duplicate the table and group by. 

If possible share the image of your report relationship 

This solution is not working actually. 

 

The issue is when I apply group by to duplicate table the calculated Columns which fecting data from other table disappear. 

 

Here is relatioship diagram.

Hi,

 

You have to select the first 4 columns and then right click > Remove Duplicates.  If it still does not help, then share the link from where i can download your PBI file.

But data is coming from 3 tables and the relationship diagram I have shared. And in engaments Substantive and acting details come.

 

Position Title and Postion type comes from position List

Position ID and Acting date comes from Engagements List

Grades from grades List

Substantive Full Name and Acting Full name comes from Employee List.Data.PNG
