Power Query - Get distinct columns based on Rank Column
Hi All
I am stuck in a scenario where i have assigned ranking to different Types.
Data contains repeated types values and i would like to get only 3 of these values in the result.
If 3 does not exist, top 2 type values to be my output. If same type exists pick any one type even if other values are different.
Consider the below scenario:
ID Type ID Num ID Issuer Ranking
(Sceanrio 1) Driver's License 13456 ABC 1
Driver's License 8970 DEF 1
Passport 456 XYZ 2
(Scenario 2 )Driving License 111 OPQ 1
Driver's License 232 gfjh 1
Driver's License 234555 gjghjs 1
Passport 222 aaaa 2
Other 333 aseg 3
Passport 12322 gbh 2
Desired output
ID Type ID Num ID Issuer Ranking
Scenario 1 result -Driver's License;Passport 13456;456 ;XYZ 1;2
Scenario 2result -Driving License;Passport;Other 111;222;333 OPQ;aaaa;aseg 1;2;3
Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance
Hi Anonymous ,
The following code should work for both scenarios. It uses two Group Bys to bundle up the [ID Type]s first, then to create the value lists:
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45W8slMTs1LTlXSUTI0MjYxBdKOTs4gnlKsDrKsmbmFpQGQdnF1g8sGJBYXF+QXlQAFTEzNgGREZBSQNAJL+pdkpBYBecbGxkAysTg1HcRRio0FAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [ID_Type = _t, ID_Num = _t, ID_Issuer = _t, Ranking = _t]), groupIdType = Table.Group( Source, {"ID_Type"}, { {"ID_Num", each List.First([ID_Num]), type nullable text}, {"ID_Issuer", each List.First([ID_Issuer]), type nullable text}, {"Ranking", each List.First([Ranking]), type nullable text} } ), addGroupColumn = Table.AddColumn(groupIdType, "GroupColumn", each "Group Me"), groupGroupColumn = Table.Group( addGroupColumn, {"GroupColumn"}, { {"ID_Type", each Text.Combine(List.Distinct([ID_Type]), ";"), type nullable text}, {"ID_Num", each Text.Combine(List.Distinct([ID_Num]), ";"), type nullable text}, {"ID_Issuer", each Text.Combine(List.Distinct([ID_Issuer]), ";"), type nullable text}, {"Ranking", each Text.Combine(List.Distinct([Ranking]), ";"), type nullable text} } ) in groupGroupColumnIt changes this:
