Concatenatex Lookupvalue multiple values

hi,

 

I have 2 tables:

Product

A
B
C

 

and Sales:

ProductRegion

AAA
ABB
BBB
CAA

 

I need to write a calculated column that lookupvalue all the Region from Sales Table, and concatenatex the values by "," delimeter.

 

Expected Result:

ProductRegion
AAA, BB
BBB
CCC

 

lookupvalues has error:

 

Region_ = LOOKUPVALUE(Table2[Region],Table2[Product],Table1[Product])

 

Expression has the following warning: A table of multiple values was supplied where a single value was expected.

 

PBI file is here:

You can use CROSSFILTER function to get this column in Table1, if you have the aforesaid relationships

 

Country =
CONCATENATEX (
    CALCULATETABLE (
        VALUES ( Table3[Country] ),
        CROSSFILTER ( Table2[Region], Table3[Region], BOTH )
    ),
    [Country],
    ","
)

Hi

 

Region_ =
CONCATENATEX (
    CALCULATETABLE (
        VALUES ( Table2[Region] ),
        Table2[Product] = EARLIER ( Table1[Product] )
    ),
    [Region],
    ","
)

Thanks very much

@Zubair_Muhammad  is there any ways that I can concatenatex the lookupvalue formula?

@Zubair_Muhammad 

what if I don't have physical relationship between the 2 tables; how can I do that?

@Iamnvt 

Actually above formula was for the case when there is no relationship.

It is a substitute for Lookupvalue

 

In case there is a relationship, it becomes simpler

 

Region_ =
CONCATENATEX ( CALCULATETABLE ( VALUES ( Table2[Region] ) ), [Region], "," )

 

Really nice!!! 

@Zubair_Muhammad 

I have a bit more complex scenarios. I have another Table 3, that has the mapping between Region, and Country:

 

RegionCountry

AAa
BBb

 

How can I transverse the Country from Table 3 to Table 1 directly?

I know that I can transverse from Table 3 to Table 2 first, then Table 2 to Table 1. Just curious to know if any better way.

 

Expected Results:

ProductRegionCountry
AAA, BBa, b
BBBb
CCC

Another way could be to use TREATAS

 

Country2 =
CONCATENATEX (
    CALCULATETABLE (
        VALUES ( Table3[Country] ),
        TREATAS ( CALCULATETABLE ( VALUES ( Table2[Region] ) ), Table3[Region] )
    ),
    [Country],
    ","
)

or to use INTERSECT function

 

Country 3 =
CONCATENATEX (
    CALCULATETABLE (
        VALUES ( Table3[Country] ),
        INTERSECT (
            VALUES ( Table3[Region] ),
            CALCULATETABLE ( VALUES ( Table2[Region] ) )
        )
    ),
    [Country],
    ","
)
