Concatenating columns from different tables

[jostnachs]

I have 3 tables. policy(fact table),agreement(dimension table) and structure(dimension table). now i would like to have a concatenated column in my agreement table with columns coming from policy table and structure table dependening on a condition that i have in agreement table. I am not sure how i can use concatenate/concatenatex/relatetable functions for this requirement.below is the relationship i have between these three tables.

Below is what I would like to acheive.

Hi @jostnachs - as per above relationships shared, 

Policy table is related to the Agreement table so you can  bring the required column to agreeement table. using related 
Agreement table is related to the Structure table.--> bring the strucutred colum nto agreement table.

create a new column in agreement table as below:

ConcatenatedColumn =
VAR PolicyNumber = RELATED(Policy[PolicyNumber])
VAR StructureName = RELATED(Structure[StructureName])
VAR AgreementType = Agreement[AgreementType]

RETURN
IF(
AgreementType = "Active", // your condition add it
PolicyNumber & " |" & StructureName,
BLANK()
)

Hope it works

Hi @rajendraongole1 ,

Thank you so much for the help!

but i am having the following error.

i have all the fields and relation as mentioned above

[jostnachs]

tried it with the policy table alone but giving me the same relationship error.

its a m:n relation between policy and agreement, maybe there are records in the agreement-table without corresponding records in policy. you can try to make a table visual with the columns you want to have.

The RELATED function requires that a relationship exists between the current table and the table with related information. You specify the column that contains the data that you want, and the function follows an existing many-to-one relationship to fetch the value from the specified column in the related table. If a relationship does not exist, you must create a relationship.

Maybe a typo eg. is there really a space between Local Department?

[jostnachs]

its there 😀

i can say, that the solution with RELATED() works. (i have such a situation working). If you get an error message you have to check this message.
