Calculated column based on different table using Contains (or anything similar)

knagar_5 — Fri, 09 Dec 2022 11:12:11 GMT

I am having problems creating a calculated column based on a column in a different table using the 'contains' function. I either get an error or '[List]'. I want to create a field in tablea that is based on values from fields in tablea and tableb. tablea and tableb are joined on a many to one relationship.

tablea *:1 tableb

I want something along the lines of:

if contains(tableb[field1], "x") then "new"

else tablea[field1]

endif

With the result to look like the image below:

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Thanks!

Hi,

Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

Newfield CC = IF ( CONTAINSSTRING ( RELATED ( Tableb[field1] ), "x" ), "new", Tablea[field1] )
