Hi there,
Please i need help with how too target a problem like having two user names on the same table.
I have an submitted and approved users that have the same data content for instance (please see table below). I also have a user table that gives me the data desciption like the names of these users however, in power bi i can only link the users table to one column (with an active relationship) to my data table. And I linked it to my "submitted user" column which gives me a view as below!
Problem:
I want to be able to create a table view where I can only have one user column with their respective metrics instead of user submitted and user approved seperately.
Please see below of sample data view.
sample data table:
submitted user | approved user | entries | approved |
1001 | 1001 | 4 | 4 |
1002 | 1001 | 5 | 5 |
1003 | 1005 | 6 | 5 |
1004 | 1010 | 7 | 7 |
1005 | 1005 | 8 | 5 |
user table (liked to the above sample data table)
user | Name |
1001 | Ann |
1002 | Peter |
1003 | Christi |
1004 | Paul |
1005 | Dan |
1010 | Will |
Expected results (would like a single user column with its various aggregates as shown):
user | name | entries | approved |
1001 | Ann | 4 | 9 |
1002 | Peter | 5 | 0 |
1003 | Christi | 6 | 0 |
1004 | Paul | 7 | 0 |
1005 | Dan | 8 | 10 |
1010 | Will | 0 | 7 |
Is this possible to archieve? and if so please help, thank you.
