Remove duplicates based on another column value

hi

struggling with how to remove duplicate entries in this scenario:

 

IDStatusCommentTest
1Validatedblahone
1Unvalidated one
2Unvalidatedblahtwo
3Validated one
4Unvalidatedblahtwo
4Validatedblahtwo

 

what i would like to achieve is this:  

 

IDStatusCommentTest
1Validatedblahone
2Unvalidatedblahtwo
3Validated one
4Validatedblahtwo

 

so if a record has same ID then delete the record that has an Unvalidated status 

 

any help appreciated

 

thanks

Hi @cheezy 

You can create a calculated table using DAX the below to get your result.


CleanedTable =
VAR ValidatedIDs =
    SUMMARIZE(
        FILTER('Table','Table'[Status] = "Validated"),
        'Table'[ID]
    )
RETURN
    FILTER(
        'Table',
        'Table'[Status] = "Validated" ||
        (
            'Table'[Status] = "Unvalidated" &&
            NOT 'Table'[ID] IN ValidatedIDs
        )
    )
