Removing Duplicate Records in the Microsoft Power BI Query Editor

In this Tiny Tip, I will show you how to remove and check for duplicate records in the Microsoft Power BI Query Editor.  In my example, I am pulling customer information from a Sales table.  Hopefully, I am invoicing (or selling to) customers more than one time.  Check out this tiny video on how I verify my data (aka repeat business).
