If and statements between different tables

Da_clint — Tue, 11 Oct 2022 10:52:53 GMT

Hi im trying to based on 2 conditions from different tables give a decided value or else 0.

Have tried to put in a custom column:

if([Besparelse] = 1 and (#"Kontoplan"[Mva Norge] =>0 then 0,25 else 0))

[Besparelse] = from primary table

Kontoplan = is the second table

Da_clint , In the power query you have to merge tables before you can write some condition across table, AFter merge, they are in a single table.

In DAX you can bring the column back into your table

Hi Da_clint ,

Here I create a sample to have a test.

Kontoplan:

Primary:

Custom column:

if [Besparelse] = 1 and List.Sum( let _Customer = [Customer] in Table.SelectRows(Kontoplan, each [Customer] = _Customer) [Mva Norge]) >= 0 then 0.25 else 0

Here I add this custom column into Primary table. Result is as below.

Thank you Rico

I see that this probably also will work, but I solved it by bringing in the data to the same table & then use a IF && function in DAX
