Hi,

Thanks for looking at my post.

I have 2 tables named as table 1 and table 2 and unfortunately i cant link those two tables because repeatation of part numbers. Issue is in table 1, i wanted to include any DAX formula to if partnumber in table 1 match with in table 2 and write the column 5 text from table 2 to table 1 please.

Any idea please

try 

col 5 has yes =
VAR PartNumber = 'table 1'[part number]
RETURN
    IF (
        "YES"
            IN CALCULATETABLE (
                VALUES ( 'table 2'[column 5] ),
                TREATAS ( { PartNumber }, 'table 2'[part number] )
            ),
        "YES",
        "NO"
    )

Perfect and much appreciated again.

Sorry one last question. Similar topic. 

What if i need to add similar formula for below logic please.

1. New DAX formula in the table 4.

2. Where column 1 and Column 3 will have part numbers sometimes repeated partnumbers in both columns

3. column 5 is the desired solution. If column 1 part number or column 3 part number have "Yes" in column 5 then for the same part numbers in both column 1 and column 3 it should be "YES" please.

Sorry and any help will be massive push for my BI

Thanks a lot

If I understand you correctly you want to apply the same base logic as previously but only when column 1 and column 3 have the same part number ? You can try

new column =
IF (
    'table 1'[column1] = 'table 1'[column3],
    VAR PartNumber = 'table 1'[column1]
    RETURN
        IF (
            "YES"
                IN CALCULATETABLE (
                    VALUES ( 'table 2'[column 5] ),
                    TREATAS ( { PartNumber }, 'table 2'[part number] )
                ),
            "YES",
            "NO"
        ),
    "NO"
)

Sorry for my poor explanation.

Actually no.

Example:

I have table 4. In table 4 i have multiple columns and in column 1 having part numbers and column 3 have sub part numbers. In some cases, column1 part number might be repeating in column 3 and vice versa.

What i am after is, if column 5 is "Yes" for either column 1 partnumber or column 3 part number, then it should be "YES" for all similar partnumbers. I hope this will help. This will help to remove the barrier what i am having. 

Thanks again

I think this might do it

col 5 has yes =
VAR PartNumbers = { 'table 4'[column 1], 'table 4'[column 3] }
RETURN
    IF (
        "YES"
            IN CALCULATETABLE (
                VALUES ( 'table 2'[column 5] ),
                TREATAS ( PartNumbers, 'table 2'[part number] )
            ),
        "YES",
        "NO"
    )

Sorry i think this will explain bit clear

Sorry again

Judging by the entry for 44, you're looking for some sort of recursion, which DAX doesn't do. You could maybe look into building a path hierarchy, or in some other way restructuring the model so that you can directly access the values.

[jimpatel]

thats cool idea. I will try that. Thanks again for your help.

Thats fantastic. Thanks a lot for this formula. Much appreciated.

What if instead of "if there are multiple different values in column 5 for the same part number, this will include them all in a comma separated list" , if any row have "YES" in column 5 then answer should be "YES". Is this something we can add in this DAX formula please? 

[jimpatel]

Thanks for your reply.  I am getting only , as the answer. Any idea please?

[johnt75]

that's my fault, I forgot to include the actual value. I've edited my original post, hopefully its OK now

[johnt75]

You could try

col 5 text =
VAR PartNumber = 'table 1'[part number]
RETURN
    CONCATENATEX (
        CALCULATETABLE (
            VALUES ( 'table 2'[column 5] ),
            TREATAS ( { PartNumber }, 'table 2'[part number] )
        ),
        'table 2'[column 5],
        ", "
    )

if there are multiple different values in column 5 for the same part number, this will include them all in a comma separated list
