Calculated fields using data from different table

HI,

 

I have two tables; one with customer data and one with order data.

I would like to be able to add a column (like the one in red) to the customer table to show whether all orders are fulfilled for that custom, based on the following rules:

  • If a customer doesn't appear in the order table at all then "No orders"
  • If one or more orders for that customerid have a row that says "no" in fulfilled column, then All Orders Fulfilled should say "Unfulfilled orders"
  • If all orders in order table say for that customerID say "Yes", then "All orders Fulfilled" 
CustomerIdCustomerNameAll orders fulfilled
1StellaNo orders
2JoanAll orders fulfilled
3MargeUnfulfilled orders

 

OrderIDCustomerIDOrderFulfilled
12PantsYes
23PantsYes
34ShoesNo
42ShoesYes
52SocksYes
63ShoesNo
76PantsNo

Hi,

This calculated column formula works

Column = if(CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Table'),FILTER('Table','Table'[CustomerID]=EARLIER(Data[CustomerId])))=BLANK(),"No orders",if(CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Table'),FILTER('Table','Table'[CustomerID]=EARLIER(Data[CustomerId])&&'Table'[Fulfilled]="Yes"))=CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Table'),FILTER('Table','Table'[CustomerID]=EARLIER(Data[CustomerId]))),"All orders fulfilled","Not fulfilled"))

Hope this helps.

HI @parry2k 

 

Thanks for the speedy response. I've change the table/column names in your suggestion to reflect my column names etc, but I'm getting an error on this part of the statement. PowerBI error says "Parameter is not the correct type" and suggests this part of the arguement should be a table. I think i'm probably missing something obvious.

FILTERS ( __Orders, OrderTable[Fullfilled Column] = "No"  )

@HCK21 try following calculated column in the customer table:

 

All Orders Fulfilled = 
VAR __Orders = RELATEDTABLE ( OrderTable )
VAR __CountNo = COUNTROWS ( FILTERS ( __Orders, OrderTable[Fullfilled Column] = "No"  ) )
RETURN
SWITCH ( TRUE (),
   ISEMPTY ( __Orders ), "No Orders",
   NOT ISBLANK ( __CountNo ), "Unfulfilled Orders",
   "All orders fulfilled"
)
