Need formula help

[yaya1974]

Hello,  I have 2 tables with absolutely nothing to create a relationship.  But I need data from the first table into the second table, filtered on data from the second table.  I have this formula but it is not returning correct value.   Can someone please help?

Adj = IF(ABC[Customer]="A",CALCULATE(FIRSTNONBLANK(Commodities[Adj],1),ALLEXCEPT(ABC,ABC[Model],ABC[Finish],ABC[PL Market])))

I've even tried using multiple filters and still same result.   I do not want to use a measure or powerquery, he needs to be a new column.

it is returning (0.218) for all rows.  I am expecting Jan-Jun 0.0181 and Jul-Dec 0.0242

Thank you!

If there are no relationships between the tables, you should be using LOOKUPVALUE or TREATAS.

ok.  I did sorta get it to work.  using lookupvalue.  However, the issue is from Table 1. The adj column is not filling in all the way, so I first need to get issue in table 1 fixed.  here is my dax code for adj column in table 1.  can anyone help fix this?

Thank you!

mmm, didn't you say that your date columns where actually text type? If that is the case than things like MIN, MAX and EARLIER are not going to work if the date format is mmm-yy. 
So you would need to create a proper date column first, and although you could try that in DAX, I would advice to do that in Power Query or even in the source if that's possible.

Correct they were text, but I did already switch to date, to get the lookupvalue to work.  

Biggest issues is getting all rows to fill in.   Thanks!

Hello,  No it is not resolved, still looking how to get the rows filled in.  Unfortunately I am not able to provide files, due to my company blocking anyone outside of company.  All I have is the screen shot above.

Do you have a suggestion on how I can share?   Sorry, I do appreciate everyone's help though!!

Thank you!

So for that first table, you want a computed column, where the result is the difference between the current value and the most recent value that was different ?

But does that table also have a column that indicates the customer? and the values should be determined by customer?

Hi, @yaya1974 

I am glad to help you.

Since there are no relationships between the tables, the formula in ALLEXCEPT in the DAX formula you provided does not achieve the result you are expecting. 

Could you please provide some examples of text format data in the tables (excluding sensitive data), along with your expected results, calculation logic and special examples. Simplified pbix files would be great. 

I hope my suggestions give you good ideas, if you have any more questions, please clarify in a follow-up reply.

My formula works, I am getting the correct output, BUT I need it to fill in the rest of the rows.  I have color coded the rows that need filled in with the same number.  My code just needs to be corrected somehow to fill in, I just can't figure that out.

Thank you!

Hello,  thank you for responding.  Here is a screen shot of what I am looking for.  Unfortately I get blocked when trying to share a document.   Hope this helps.   My date columns are not "dates" they are text too btw.

Thank you for any help!

Hello,

Kindly provide the sample input/output in a usable format (excel, csv, table etc.) masking sensitive information.
