Compare text values with different columns in different tables

Hi

 

I have three  tables.

Table1 : column 1, column2

Table2 : column3, column2

Table3: column4, colum2.

 

Is there a way as such, i need to compare data as if(table1(column2)=table2(column2) then table2(column) else table table3(column2)) should be displayed in table1(column2). All are text values

It would depend on your table relationships and cardinality how best to achieve this, but I'd start by looking at what you can achieve using RELATED() or LOOKUPVALUE()

 

see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/related-function-dax  and https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/lookupvalue-function-dax
