Combining Table

I have two tables

1) Table 1

Column name: (Strategy), (Repair Scheme), (Engine Type), (Package), and otehr columns

2)Table 2:
Column name: (Strategy), (FRS), (EngType), (Package Code), and otehr columns

The 4 columns listed for both table have values that corresponds to each other.

 

In table 2, I have this column called T1Pack.
I wish to create a new measure in Table 1 such that it have this new column T1Pack

 

How can I go about doing this. What is the DAX expression for this?

Help is appreciated.

  • From what your describing, it suonds like you need a calculated column, not a calulcated measure. 

     

    Calculated Column: T1Pack = RELATED(Table2[T1Pack])

    Calculated Measure: Just use whatever aggregation you need in the DAX expression (e.g. SUM(T1Pack))

     

    Please note that both the approaches assume that there is relationship/join between the two tables.

      If you take a look at the picture below,

      I have two tables, with what I described earlier.

      I wish to create a measure such that it relate the values between the two table, and from the value in [T1Pack] i wish to minus the value from another measure [PBI(Average) Time]

        [PBI(Average) Time] is a measure and T1Pack looks like a column with text values. How do you intend to do the subtraction?

    Hi ephramz 

    Your data model may be complex. Could you share a sample file with us? We need to know what your data model looks like.  You can share a screenshot with the result you want, this will make it easier for us  to understand your requirement.
