HI,
I want to create a custom data label with Dax, where it refers to multiple different things.
For instance, I have an unrelated table 1 and table 2.
In Table 1, there is one column with client names.
Client |
| Client 1 |
| Client 2 |
| Client 3 |
In Table 2, there are multiple columns but we only want to refer to the client identifier.
| Client Name | Identifier | Value |
| Client 1 | Client 1 UK | 10 |
| Client 2 | Client 2 USA | 20 |
| Client 2 | Client 2 EUR | 30 |
| Client 3 | Client 3 UK | 40 |
The result I would like to achieve in a measure is,
If(
Selectevalue(Table 1[Client]) = Selectedvalue(Table 2[Client Name]),
Table 2[Identifier]&"-"&Table 2[Value]
)
My problem: I can not seem to reference table 2 as in the bolded part. Could some explain why and provide a solution?
Hi,
Similarly to your if condition use a function like SELEDTEDVALUE or MAX and you can see the result.
E.g.
I hope this post helps to solve your issue and if it does consider accepting it as a solution and giving the post a thumbs up!

No sorry this does not work.
Why do you use a max function, when the identifier column is a string?
