Post PatronCompare if same number repeating in different table
Hi
I am really struggling with following logic. Any help will be appreciated.
I have 2 tables and i cant link those two tables for some reason. I am trying to look like something like Vlookup formula.
Table1 : Column A have multiple part numbers (some of them will be repeating)
Table2: Column C have multiple part number (Some of them will be repeating)
What i am after is, any measure or column formula to find if Table 2 (Column C) part number in Table1(Column A), if yes then "yes" else "no"
Any idea please?
Hi jimpatel ,
You can create a calculated column as below in Table2 to get it:
Column = CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table1'[D] ), FILTER ( 'Table1', 'Table1'[A] = 'Table2'[C] ) )If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data in Table1 and Table2 (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. You can refer the following link to upload the file to the community. Thank you.

jimpatel , New column in Table 2
new column =
var _cnt = countx(filter(Table1, Table2[Column C] = Table1[Column A]), Table1[Column A])
return
if(Isblank(_cnt), "No", "Yes")

Sorry,
Its working perfectly fine. Thanks a lot.
Just one question, how to change this formula to reflect other column. That is instead of "YES", i wanted to show text in column D in table 1 please.
Any idea?
