    Hi I think try these steps 

    • Sort the table by "Transmittal Date:" in descending order to bring the latest records to the top.
    • Remove duplicates based on "Medicaid ID Number:" to keep only the most recent entry for each ID.
    • Expand necessary columns to include additional data you need for analysis.
    • Load the cleaned table back into your report or worksheet.


      Try this PowerQuery : 
      let
      Source = #"Budgets ALL",
      #"Sorted Rows" = Table.Sort(Source, {"Transmittal Date:", Order.Descending}),
      #"Removed Duplicates" = Table.Distinct(#"Sorted Rows", {"Medicaid ID Number:"})
      in
      #"Removed Duplicates"
      Try this solution and if this helps please accept this as solution and give a kudos
