I would like to compare datetime column and if multiple datetime exist and get only the max value from column S_Value for correspoding datetime column. 

so the output has to be follwoing.

DateTime                     S_Value

2020-03-26 16:25:30	3800
2020-03-26 16:23:53	500
2020-03-26 14:33:08	689

Hi @Anonymous 

Do you need this in M or DAX?

@AlB 

M is better at first instance.

for learning purpose if you can add DAX will be useful also for me and for others too.

Thanks for your reply.

What is the last part of he SValue (in red below)?? Assuming the rests is hh:mm:ss. A complete explanation from the beginning would help us not to waste time unnecessarily with this type of questions

Try this in M

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("hdBLDsAgCATQqxjXbTJ8ROUqTe9/jWp3pmq3vMAA1xUZjBNysgUy5+RS4tGqQLyPFUtaMv6ZkaYsnqTxrFldxNGjrdRREYjbXFd7k22nuuTUgy2XDZeKj9Kr2lSnyurovVl4UKqBSlvKSSc3jcomC+3fylU3qtpPuh8=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [DateTime = _t, S_Value = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"DateTime", type datetime}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Date", each DateTime.Date([#"DateTime"])),
    #"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom", "LatestInThisDate", each List.Max(Table.SelectRows(#"Added Custom",(inner)=>inner[Date]=[Date])[DateTime])),
    #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Added Custom1", each [LatestInThisDate] = [DateTime]),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Filtered Rows",{"Date", "LatestInThisDate"})
in
    #"Removed Columns"

Hi again @AlB 

I have tried your solution but it didn't give me a desired result.

Table

for each instance of timestamp check the same timestamp exist and if it exist than get the max value row from the table for each timestamp as shown in figure.

for ex. for a first two row with a same time stamp the max value is 3500. so final has to be 

3/26/2020 4:25:38 PM           3500

currectly your solution gives me a partial result. 

next time i will add more descripiton. 

regads

tar.

It's simpler then. Just use "Group By"

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("hdBLDsAgCATQqxjXbTJ8ROUqTe9/jWp3pmq3vMAA1xUZjBNysgUy5+RS4tGqQLyPFUtaMv6ZkaYsnqTxrFldxNGjrdRREYjbXFd7k22nuuTUgy2XDZeKj9Kr2lSnyurovVl4UKqBSlvKSSc3jcomC+3fylU3qtpPuh8=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [DateTime = _t, S_Value = _t]),
    #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"DateTime", type datetime}, {"S_Value", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Changed Type1", {"DateTime"}, {{"S_Value", each List.Max([S_Value]), Int64.Type}})
in
    #"Grouped Rows"
