Calculate column with 2 tables without relation

Hi experts!

 

I'm very new in Power BI and DAX and I would like to request your help, pls...

 

I have 2 different tables with different fields and without relation, to explain fastly, I gonna use the important fields for this calculation.

 

  • OOS_Calculations
    • ID_sender
    • product "New column"
  • Product_box
    • device
    • text_product

I need to create a new column in OOS_Calculations with the following condition:

 

If  "ID_sender" is equal to "abc" in OOS_Calculations and "device" is equal to "abc" in Product_box, then return "text_product" in the new column in OOS_Calculations

 

Is there anybody suggest something, I will be very grateful

 

Thanks!

    Hey afi_imco,

     

    For finding values between two tables without a relationship you can use the LOOKUPVALUE function. If I understand your question correctly, you want it to return text_product when ID_sender is equal to device. If so, the formula looks like this:

    TEXT_PRODUCT = LOOKUPVALUE(Product_box[text_product],Product_box[device],OOS_Calculations[ID_sender])

     

    Hope this helps.
