I'm trying to create a dimension table that has Part Numbers and a corresponding Part Description. I successfully created the table with one column of Part Numbers (because those are unique), but depending on the dealership the descriptions can vary slightly. I used this formula to create the single column table:
Is there a way I can change this formula so that it only takes the FIRST part description it finds for each Part Number? I'm new to DAX so I apologize in advance if this is an easy one.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.
[Parts] =
FILTER(
ADDCOLUMNS(
DISTINCT( T[Part_Number] ),
"Description",
FIRSTNONBLANK( T[Part_Description], 1 )
),
NOT ISBLANK( T[Part_Number] )
)
[Parts] =
FILTER(
ADDCOLUMNS(
DISTINCT( T[Part_Number] ),
"Description",
FIRSTNONBLANK( T[Part_Description], 1 )
),
NOT ISBLANK( T[Part_Number] )
)
Perfect! Thank you so much for the quick response.
