Add Column (Currency Conversion) based on data of two tables
Hi
I need this in Excel (PowerQuery), but AFAIK it's the same language (M) as in PowerBI, hence asking here.
I have two tables.
BUDGET
CURRENCY_BUDGET
Budget holds
COUNTRY, BUDGET_REVENUE, BUDGET_MARGIN, VENDOR, YEAR, MONTH
Budget_Currency holds:
COUNTRY, LOCAL_CURRENCY, YEAR, CONVERSION_RATE
The "Budget" Table holds the values for Margin and Revenue in Local Currency. The "Budget_Currency" Table holds the conversionrate to EURO as a fixed value per year and local currency.
As there was no way to link the two tables (was Many:Many), I already added a column called "CountryYear" which 1:Many (Budget_Currency:Budget) and linked the two tables
Somehow I'd need to add a column to "Budget" which holds the EURO Value of the Revenue and Margin based on the information from the "Budget_Currency" Table.
How can I get there?
Or is it better to use a DAX measure instead of adding a column?
You may use LOOKUPVALUE Function to add a calculated column in DAX.
