Check object in many table whether it is in masterdata table
Hi All,
I have a transaction table called "Activities" and a Master data table called "projects".
Sometimes new projects are added in the activities table and I need to know so I can update the master data table. In the example. I added project 8 in activities table.
Approach:
Created new table
Find new addition = DISTINCT(Activities[ProjectName])The following fomula gives me number of transactions in activities table.
The other around = SUMX('Activities', FIND('Find new addition'[ProjectName],'Activities'[ProjectName],,0))
What I would like to see is a boolean (true/false) whether project X is in the master data. So far, youtube tutorials are working from the one-side table. So I dont know the approach when working in the many table. Or is it not recommended? If so, how should I tackle it?

Hi Anonymous
You can add the following column in 'Find new addition' table.
Column 2 = IF('Find new addition'[ProjectName] IN VALUES(ProjectList[ProjectName]),TRUE(),FALSE())Best Regards,

A new column in the projects
new =
var _cnt = countx('Find new Addition','Find new Addition'[Project] = project[project]) ,'Find new Addition')
return
if(isblank(_cnt), "New", "Old")
refer 4 ways (related, relatedtable, lookupvalue, sumx/minx/maxx with filter) to copy data from one table to another

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czNHt7UXIe8I added a new column in the project table.
The formula gave an error. The last expression of countX is not recognized.
