Separate Values with Distinct Date

Hi,

 

I have a Problem. Sometimes are system is creating two entries with the same Value (see below eg 01.01.2019 and 31.12.2019). In Power BI it multiplies these Values wrongly up.

How can I create a distinct Value or a Filter that there are no more double entries?

 

Many thanks in advance.

 

 

Regards,

Marc

    marc_frei, do you want to keep distinct rows?

     

    If so, locate the table button on the left of the first column name, click the little arrow near this button. From the pop-up menu that will appear, click Remove Duplicates.

     

    Or: select all columns and Home->Reduce Rows-> Remove Duplicates 

  • Hi marc_frei , 

    I  am not clear  about your requirement, if you want to remove dulicated value, I think you could refer to above suggestions , choose all column and click remove reduplicated. 

    let
        Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("zdExDoQwDAXRu6RGyE5CbJ8Fcf9rLJu0eAoqmlA8fRFNzrOoNC/b/ZH7FN1l7FV0lGt7MANzsMhNBUzBKvxv7uzZKlgD62AH2AAzMAeL3FbPxKCLUpe5c+iZWAPrYAfYADMwB4vcVs/EoItSl7kL6JlYA+u5feku620TG2AG5mABXQQMuih1+e+qvN9dPw==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [id = _t, amount = _t, date = _t]),
        #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"id", Int64.Type}, {"amount", Int64.Type}, {"date", type date}}),
        #"Removed Duplicates" = Table.Distinct(#"Changed Type")
    in
        #"Removed Duplicates"

     If not, please correct me and inform me more detailed information(such as your expected output and your sample data)? Then I will help you more correctly.

      this is not working, beacause there are several Numbers (First Row) with the same issue. 

      I filtered it just to post it here. 

       

      I need several numbers but just (first column) but with just one date.

       

      Sorry my request was not clear.
