create column in new table based on a conditional select in another table
- 1 year ago
Hi,
I am not sure how your expected result looks like, but I tried to create a sample pbix file like below.
Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.
In the sample, I tried to use GENERATE DAX Function to create a new table.
GENERATE function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Learn
DateTable = GENERATE ( ADDCOLUMNS ( CALENDAR ( DATE ( 2021, 1, 1 ), DATE ( 2024, 12, 31 ) ), "Year", YEAR ( [Date] ), "Month Number", MONTH ( [Date] ) ), SELECTCOLUMNS ( FILTER ( FileSemesters, ( FileSemesters[StartDate] <= [Date] && FileSemesters[EndDate] >= [Date] ) ), "TermOfYear", FileSemesters[Semesters] ) ) - 1 year ago
DateTable =
ADDCOLUMNS(
CALENDAR(DATE(2016, 1, 1), DATE(2024, 12, 31)),
"Year", YEAR([Date]),
"Month Number", MONTH([Date]),
"Semester",
VAR currentDate = [Date]
RETURN
MAXX(
FILTER(
FileSemesters,
FileSemesters[StartDate] <= currentDate &&
FileSemesters[EndDate] >= currentDate
),
FileSemesters[Semester]
)
)You can then use this DateTable in your model to relate dates to semesters seamlessly.
💌 If this helped, a Kudos 👍 or Solution mark would be great! 🎉
