Add rows to table according to grouping in different table

Hi,

 

I would like to add rows to one table ( or combine two tables) according to group number from another table.

 

These are what I have:

Table 1
NamePart
Ax1
By1
Bx1

 

Table 2
GroupPart 
1x1
1x2
2y1
2y2

 

This is what I am looking for

Final Table  
NamePartGroup
Ax11
Ax21
By12
By22
Bx11
Bx21

 

 

I already tried merge/append or DAX code (Union or OuterJoin) and not succeed.

 

Do you have any recommendation? 🙂

 

Thank you!

Gozde

Hi @Gozde

 

Please try this calculated table

 

New Table =
VAR Mytable1 =
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        Table1,
        "My Group", CALCULATE ( FIRSTNONBLANK ( Table2[Group], 1 ) )
    )
VAR JoinTables =
    GENERATE (
        SELECTCOLUMNS ( mytable1, "Name", [Name], "My Group", [My Group] ),
        FILTER ( Table2, Table2[Group] = [My Group] )
    )
RETURN
    SELECTCOLUMNS ( JoinTables, "Name", [Name], "Group", [Group], "Part", [Part] )

Thanks for quick response.  It helped me alot.

 

It is working in the example code. But, not in my real big data, becauase I have some parts in Table 1 which are missing in Table 2 (not have the group). How can I keep these parts? What should I change in code?

 

 

Thank you 🙂

Try with this code

 

New Table =
VAR Mytable1 =
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        Table1,
        "My Group", CALCULATE ( FIRSTNONBLANK ( Table2[Group], 1 ) )
    )
VAR JoinTables =
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        GENERATEALL (
            SELECTCOLUMNS (
                mytable1,
                "Name", [Name],
                "My Group", [My Group],
                "My Part", [Part]
            ),
            FILTER ( Table2, Table2[Group] = [My Group] )
        ),
        "Final Part", IF ( ISBLANK ( [Part] ), [My Part], [Part] )
    )
RETURN
    SELECTCOLUMNS (
        JoinTables,
        "Name", [Name],
        "Group", [Group],
        "Part", [Final Part]
    )

Yes, changing generate to generateall solve the issue!

 

Thank you very much,

@Gozde

 

Actually in addition to GenerateAll there was a subtle issue with Parts Column as well Smiley Tongue

Nope, When I add your last code, again parts without group number are disappering at final table.

 

I tried your code with the example:

This is the output.

NamePartGroup
Ax12
Ax22
Bx12
Bx22
Cx11
