Hi Dough! If I wanted to flag the duplicates in Power Query. Say a calculated column, the first line would have a 1 and all duplicates below it should show a 0. Is this possible in PQ?
Hi DougThanks for this video. How can I not only identify duplicate but remove them using power query. I was trying to use COUNTIF function to label first occurrence as 0 and other will follow as 1,2,3...Is there a power query formula to the duplicate in number of occurrence the way countif fn will count them in excel sheet. Thanks
Can it be done for multiple columns, I'd be working with sales files where one column will always have duplicates such as invoice numbers. I wouldn't be removing those. I would like to remove a row of 20 columns where the entire row is an obvious duplicate that must be removed.
I'm Assuming you are using the conditional formatting feature (th-cam.com/video/meogoA_MXmg/w-d-xo.html). You could use the errors to define the conditional format if you meant #N/A. That is an error condition that you can define a conditional format. If it is just N/A, use the condition criteria in quotes (i.e., text equals "N/A")
Doug, Hi. Im not sure if i explained my self correctly. Here is what im trying to do, is the following: When cell A-1 shows the word "split-shift", i would like the cell below that, that is A-2, and A-3 to change its cell color to the word "open". Which part of the conditional format option/function would you recommend me to try, to make this work. Thank you. Thank you for the fast respond earlier. Dan
Why not just go to "Keep Rows" > "Keep Duplicates" - to identify them... Easy peasy. Then you can always X out the step it creates after identifying them.
Thanks, Doug that's what I was looking for!
Glad I could help!
Thats exactly what i needed today! Thanks

Thank you sir
Welcome!
This was really nice. Can I split this workbook into 2 worksheets with PowerQuery? One with Duplicates and the other No Duplicates? Thanks
Yes you can. Just reference the first one you created and make that the duplicate or non duplicate query (diff name) and load to sheet.
@@DougHExcel Thank You!

Try to use CSV file as your source. However the output tab will have the constraint.
