Check if value exists across DirectQuery - Import
- Anonymous2 years ago
Hi,lbendlin
Thanks for your concern about this issue.
TREATAS can be used in other situations, but DirectQuery mode really doesn't support TREATAS.
And I would like to share some additional solutions below.
Hi,crobson29
I am glad to help you.
According to your description, you want to check if value exists across DirectQuery – Import?
If I understand you correctly, then you can refer to my solution.
Since TREATAS is not supported in DirectQuery mode, consider using a LEFT OUTER JOIN in the query that loads the data into the model.
Here's a little example that I hope you find helpful.
In the Power Query Editor click Merge Queries:
Select the corresponding table and corresponding field PO, and then select Left Outer in the Join kind.
Click on the red circle in the picture to expand the table:
Mismatched PO values are displayed as null values:
Here's some official documentation, hope it helps:

I hope my suggestions give you good ideas, if you have any more questions, please clarify in a follow-up reply.
Best Regards,
