I have a challenge which I tried to accomplish but without any success,
I want to combine 5 tables (see below)
Into new one table where I select which column to bring (see below)
But under one condition if a certain column value equal to certain text (see below)
Apprecite your help whether it should be done in DAX or Power Query M
link to PBIX file and XLSX file
Solved! Go to Solution.
I have not to check the file , but it should happen like
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/selectcolumns-function-dax
union (
selectcolumns(filter(Table,<condition>), columns....),
selectcolumns(filter(Table2,<condition>), columns....),
selectcolumns(filter(Table3,<condition>), columns....),
selectcolumns(filter(Table4,<condition>), columns....),
selectcolumns(filter(Table5,<condition>), columns....)
)
You can use summarize in place of select column
You can use distinct on top of union if needed
