Conditional copy values into table / Table relations
I would like to plot work progress of varying items within a project over time, at specific report dates, as shown in the figure below but with x-axis labels in the date format coming from a separately imported data table.
I have currently two related tables (n:n, Project - Project) that contain the data for multiple of the shown figures, i.e. multiple projects, with following columns:
| Project | Report Date |
| Project | Item | Progress | Report Number |
Every Project has a varying number of m-Items (lines in the figure) and n-Report Numbers (x-axis in the graph). Report numbers are enumerated from 1...n and the items are m-text values.
For every project I also have corresponding amount of n Report Dates. To I need to assign the dates to the report numbers in a way that the first date gets matched to report number 1, second to number two and last the n-th date to the n-th report,all the while considering that there are multiple projects in both tables.
Does anybody have a suggestion how I can achieve this?
Hi rogerk ,
I create the following sample data.
Then add custom column in Table 2:
CustomColumn = let myfunction = (CurrentProject) => let SelectRows = Table.SelectRows(Table, each [Project] = CurrentProject) in SelectRows, Date = myfunction([Project]){[Report Number]-1}[Report Date] in DateIf the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.

rogerk , You should have a common project table and avoid n -n join

Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.Hi rogerk ,
