Actual (DirectQuery) vs. Target1 and Target2 (Import)

Hi, can anybody help with dax definition?

 

I'm stuck with connecting targets and actuals. The goal is to conditionally format actual values as per target values.

1:1 relationship

 

Is this even achievable, meaning combining data from DQ and Import mode? 

 

 

Thank you.

Hi @houba139 

You can refer to the following example

1.You can create a measure

Measure = var a=CALCULATE(SUM('Table (2)'[Target1]),FILTER('Table (2)',[SensorID]=MAX('Table'[SensorID])))
var b=CALCULATE(SUM('Table (2)'[Target2]),FILTER('Table (2)',[SensorID]=MAX('Table'[SensorID])))
return SWITCH(TRUE(),MAX('Table'[Value])<a,-1,MAX('Table'[Value])>=a&&MAX('Table'[Value])<b,0,MAX('Table'[Value])>=b,1)

Output

2.You can create a calculated table

Table 2 = ADDCOLUMNS('Table',"Judgement",SWITCH(TRUE(),'Table'[Value]<CALCULATE(SUM('Table (2)'[Target1]),FILTER('Table (2)',[SensorID]=EARLIER('Table'[SensorID]))),-1,'Table'[Value]>=CALCULATE(SUM('Table (2)'[Target1]),FILTER('Table (2)',[SensorID]=EARLIER('Table'[SensorID])))&&'Table'[Value]<CALCULATE(SUM('Table (2)'[Target2]),FILTER('Table (2)',[SensorID]=EARLIER('Table'[SensorID]))),0,'Table'[Value]>=CALCULATE(SUM('Table (2)'[Target2]),FILTER('Table (2)',[SensorID]=EARLIER('Table'[SensorID]))),1))
