Adding a Custom Column with condition.
- 5 years ago
This is the code Csalinas144
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("ddJLDoIwEAbgu7AmKTNtAQ+gK9m6IawMMRiFjS68vVNo6c8rodASvs6D1nVCSZqc++fwk2clg6y7ydDKKs54mubTtEnrhFeA2YNCEQchcx2JBnKRYUIMypRc3rgFR2Tk1e37ug9vrygEMoDMwrh9q67vrsNj8GpOz8Z6rCqjyV1yr/bd9p9QkZ4DMQRiiqjYIuNRrmgOJHPoXLlAYyNcJJ5qZwuNYGCnnaKCO86QsqMfOzZsjiULaCARdn2sy+2j/Zd0xHiZ4wYyQjgZpDfxCJhGZoCZ9SEkKM6ggkaS3ckSoT2CyzNyWbscXeFd8wc=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Purchase Order Number" = _t, #"Product Name" = _t, Gender = _t, Age = _t, Quantity = _t, Date = _t, #"Ship Date" = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Date", type date}, {"Ship Date", type date}}), #"Merged Queries" = Table.NestedJoin( #"Changed Type", {"Product Name"}, Prices, {"Product Name"}, "Prices", JoinKind.LeftOuter ), GetPrice = Table.AddColumn( #"Merged Queries", "Price", each let varDate = [Date] in try Table.Max( Table.SelectRows( [Prices], each [Date] < varDate ), "Date" )[#"Price per Unit(US$)"] otherwise 0 ), #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(GetPrice,{"Prices"}) in #"Removed Columns"Note that the first record returned 0 becuase there was no price set for March 5, 2021. Prices didn't start until March 10.
Here is the PBIX though. It will be much clearer what I did since there are two tables involved.
Csalinas144 Maybe:
Column in B =
VAR __Product = [Product Name]
VAR __Date = [Date]
VAR __TableA = FILTER('TableA',[Product Name]=__Product && [Date]>=__Date)
RETURN
IF(
ISBLANK(__TableA),
MINX(FILTER('TableA',[Product Name]=__Product),[Date]),
MAXX(__TableA,[Date])
)- Csalinas1445 years ago

Did you see the URL in my post above on how to post a table of data? Or you could provide a PBIX file with embedded content and share via OneDrive or Dropbox. I'll repost it, but everything we've ever needed to solve a solution is provided in the below info.

In line 4
VAR __TableA = FILTER('TableA',[Product Name]=__Product && [Date]>=__Date)
What does __Product&&[Date]>=__Date) mean exaclty. Trying to decipher this code.
Can you write between each line what each line is saying in english?
Thank You,
Christian

Greg_Deckler Is it even possible to refer to a different table within a Calculated Column entry for a different table? Seems to not be an option to refer to a column in my other data set when writing this code.
Thank You for your help again!
