Remove Duplicates Based on Another Column Value

[Anonymous]

Guys, I need your support please, I need to remove duplicates selecting 4 columns based on 5th column value condicationally:

The current script carries out removing the duplications of 4 selected columns:

= Table.Distinct(#"Divided Column", {"HR ID", "Employee Name", "Exception Duration", "Date"})

Now, how to set this in condition if "Exception Type" = "Daily"

Can you share/paste some sample data and show the expected output from Excel to correctly understand your question.?

I'm looking at your top image as the desired output.  It seems to include duplicates (lines 2 and 3) as well as an Exception type of Monthly.  I thought you wanted those removed? Can you clarify?

Do the following steps:

1. Duplicate your source query
2. Filter on one with Exception Type = Daily
3. Apply Remove Duplicates on the table

4. On the other copy of the query, filter out daily
5. Append as New query
