Creating new columns based on colums from related Table

Dear community, 

 

I want to create new columns based on other columns from another table using IF-condition. I hope you can help me. Image I have the following two tables

 

Table1: 

 

ID  

1

2

3

 

Table2:

 

ID    Status            Time

1     New                 5

1     In progress     10

2     New                 7

2    In Progress      12

3    New                15

3    In Progress      20

 

I want to add new colums to the table1. Table1 should like this: 

 

ID      Time new   Time in progress

1        5                10

2        7                12

3       15               20

 

There is a n:1-relation between the two tables. 

 

How can I create the columns Time new and Time in progress? 

 

Thank you very much and kind regards.

Hi @Learner86 

Time new =
MAXX (
    FILTER ( RELATEDTABLE ( Table2 ), Table2[Status] = "New" ),
    Table2[Time]
)
Time In Progress =
MAXX (
    FILTER ( RELATEDTABLE ( Table2 ), Table2[Status] = "In Progress" ),
    Table2[Time]
)

Hi @Learner86 

Time new =
MAXX (
    FILTER ( RELATEDTABLE ( Table2 ), Table2[Status] = "New" ),
    Table2[Time]
)
Time In Progress =
MAXX (
    FILTER ( RELATEDTABLE ( Table2 ), Table2[Status] = "In Progress" ),
    Table2[Time]
)

Many thanks for the proposed solution. There is just one point: How can I combine the two tables by using of the ID-columns?

@Learner86 
Can you please provide the expected output? Do you want that using M or DAX?

@tamerj1: You can find my expected output in my first post. I want to use DAX.

@Learner86 ,

Check this post, it might help you to solve your issue.

Since related works from one side of the relationship it won't fulfill your need but you can try related table.

 

Thanks,

Arul
