Creating a new column with multiple IF-statements from different tables

Hi everyone

 

I am trying to create a new column in table 1 in which it should say "Yes" if several conditions from the 3 separate tables are met.

 

All three tables are related by the ID-variable. It is possible for the same ID to appear in several rows in both table 2 and 3.

The new column should say "Yes" if the status from table 1 = "Active", AND if the colour = "Red" OR "Blue" in table 2, AND if the End date > Today() in table 3.

I have tried several different solutions without any luck. Can anyone help me with this one?

 

Table 1:

IDStatusNew column
ID 2349Active 
ID 1234Active 
ID 9876Not active 

 

Table 2:

IDColourBrand
ID 2349Red Brand 1
ID 1234Blue Brand 2
ID 9876Green Brand 3

 

Table 3: 

IDStart DateEnd date
ID 234910/11/2021 22/12/2021
ID 123405/06/202120/10/2021
ID 987607/10/202110/05/2022

Hi @MarcLykke 

Here's some DAX for your new column

New column = 
IF(
    Table1[Status] <> "Active", "No",
    VAR _RedOrBlue = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Table2), Table2[Colour] IN {"Red", "Blue"})
    VAR _EndAfterToday = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Table3), Table3[End date] > TODAY())
    VAR _Result = IF(_RedOrBlue >= 1 && _EndAfterToday >= 1, "Yes", "No")
    RETURN
        _Result
)

Assuming your model looks something like this
