Combine 2 different tables and get intersecting rows
- 6 years ago
commonsenseuser you don't need 3rd table, just create a surrogate key by combining 3 columns in both the tables and set the relationship between these table on this new key, and from there you can use these into any visuals, as a best practice, it would make sense to add 3 dimension tables like brand, customer type, and country and have a relationship of these 3 dimension tables with your table 1 and table 2, and from there everything will be super easy to analyze.
I would ❤ Kudos if my solution helped. 👉 If you can spend time posting the question, you can also make efforts to give Kudos whoever helped to solve your problem. It is a token of appreciation!

Hi commonsenseuser ,
Please do like this.
1. Create a calculated table.
Table 3 = 'Table 1'2. Create a calculated column in 'Table 3'.
Brand Awareness = LOOKUPVALUE( 'Table 2'[Brand Awareness], 'Table 2'[Brand], 'Table 3'[Brand], 'Table 2'[Customer Type], 'Table 3'[Customer Type], 'Table 2'[Country], 'Table 3'[Country] )Best regards,
