    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

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.
