Looking for some direction on linking 2 tables by Year, Month, and Building Name. I have created a date table but that did not seem to work. I checked the 'Building Name' field to ensure that both tables match for that field. They do.
The issue is that one table has a period of dates that have to be manually created. For example, a contract for a building runs from 2019-2024. If you want to compare the actual expense for that building in a certain month and a certain year, you have to convert the contract period dates to months and years so that you have comparable data.
Also tried RELATED and RELATEDTABLE but neither work in order to see the contract amount and actual expense amount of a specific building in a specific month and a specific year. Dates from one table will allow you to see the month by year data from that table accurately but then the other table's data pulls everything in for that building for all months/years.
Any comments would be appreciated and I hope it's just something simple that I am not seeing. Thank you in advance.
Hi @KMGC ,
In the two tables create a "Start date" and "End date" using the year and month. then link them with the date table. When summing up values filter using the start date and end date.
If you can post some sample data or the pbix, can give some more advice.
