Add Multiple Values in Column per ID
Hi,
I have a table of IDs that derive from another table, I need to add a list of values for each ID (years) so that I can summarise data into a table for each year. The years are as a list in another table. Can do this either in PowerQuery or PowerBi, whichever makes sense... (I assumed the former, but haven't had any luck with either so far).
Essentially I have this:
| ID |
| 1 |
| 2 |
| 3 |
| 4 |
| 5 |
| 6 |
| 7 |
| 8 |
| 9 |
And i need this:
| ID | AY |
| 1 | 2017 |
| 1 | 2018 |
| 1 | 2019 |
| 1 | 2020 |
| 2 | 2017 |
| 2 | 2018 |
| 2 | 2019 |
| 2 | 2020 |
| 3 | 2017 |
I assumed it'd be easy, I've found a lot of DAX to be fairly straight forward so far... But apparently not!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kureigu it will be easier to do in PQ, merge your ID table with the 2nd table which has the year on the ID column, and after the merge step, expand the column you just created and you will get all the years for each ID.
Something like this:

Hello Kureigu ,
Create an additional column and do cross join.

Hello parry2k
Great solution. I was attempting somethjing similar with my example data set:
Table 1:
Product ID Lifespan (Years) Activation year Purchase value 400 50 2011 £500 401 50 1975 £10,000 402 50 1950 £12,000 403 30 2010 £50,000 404 40 2020 £40,000
Table 2:
Year 1970 1971 1972 1973 1974 1975 1976 1977 1978 1979 1980 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 But there is no ID against the Year column in table 2. So how can I create the merge with the ID relationship. I need the exact same output in your solution buit can't do it without the ID key to connect the two.
Hoppe that makes sense.

Thanks guys, I really appreciated it... I seriously doubt I would've been able to discover that solution without your help.
sabilahmed what is the final output you are looking for?
