Helper IVFinding the match
Hi All,
I have two tables DimCommissionAgreements with Description3 column and DimCommissionAgreementsCriteria with Status COlumn. The two tables are connected with one to many relationship. Now, I want to compare the two columns and add a new column in DimCommissionAgreements table where if Description3 = Status then 0 else 1. But right now i have an issue as below.
even if the Description3 and Status is different it gives me 0.i have put the formula used below.
Hi,
thanks for the soluition Greg_Deckler offered, and i want to offer some more information for user to refer to.
hello jostnachs , you can consider to create a measure instead of calculated column.
MEASURE = IF ( MAX ( Sheet1[Description3] ) <> BLANK (), IF ( MAX ( Sheet1[Description3] ) = MAX ( 'Sheet1 (2)'[Status] ), 0, 1 ) )Output
Best Regards!
