    Hi Anonymous 

     

    Try columns like below, this will check if there was any transaction in chosen_ip_addresses table related ( using active relationship ) to the table the column is in. 

     

    Column = 
CALCULATE(
    COUNTROWS( chosen_ip_addresses ) > 0 
)

    Ok Mariusz ! 

    I think I have figured it out.

    InfoColumn = if(CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(chosen_ip_addresses) > 0), RELATED(chosen_ip_addresses[Description]) , all_ip_addresses[Ip])

    This has solved my problem ! 
    Thank you for your time !! 

    Kind Regards,
    Bart

Hi Anonymous 

 

Use RELATED or RELATEDTABLE functions when referring to another table.

    InfoColumn= IF(CONTAINS(RELATEDTABLE(chosen_ip_addresses),chosen_ip_addresses[Ip], all_ip_addresses[Ip]), chosen_ip_address[description], all_ip_addresses[Ip])


    I have tried that just before texting here, maybe I am just aproaching it incorrectly.
    Just at the end when I am trying to get the description, the DAX does not see that table/column, and I can not get that value.
    Does my example at the top makes some sence ? 

    I was kind of based from this :

    Column =
IF (
    CONTAINS ( RELATEDTABLE ( Table2 ), Table2[Country of Origin], "CHILE" ),
    "CHILE",
    "OTHER COUNTRIES"
)



    Thank you for you time and help.

    Kind Regards,
    Bart

        Hey Mariusz ! 

        That seems to be working, I am getting a list of chosen_ip_addresses when its true.
        Might be a "stupid" question but, how would i get the description from chosen_ip_addresses to be visible in place of TRUE and the  ip address from all_ip_addresses in place of FALSE ? 
        I really appreciate your help,

        Kind Regards,
        Bart
