Conditional Column if value exists in a column in a related table

Hello All,

 

I have two tables Table A which has basic values and an empty 'Status' column and Table B which contains multiple rows with values ranging from 1-4 (Status numbers). Both tables are related.

 

I am looking to populate the empty column in Table A with a value ranging from 1-3 based on if a value exists in Table B[Value].

 

eg. if Table B[Value] contains 1 then Table A[Status] = 1,

        else if Table B[Value] contains 2 and not 1 then Table A[Status] = 2,

        else  Table B[Value] contains 3 and not 1 or 2 then Table A[Status] = 3

 

Please reach out if you have any questions and any help at all is appreciated. Thank you.

@Anonymous , Try a new column like

 

new column =
var _st = minx(relatedtable(TableB),TableB[Value]) //or // related(TableB[Value])
return
switch(true() ,
search("1",_st,,0) >0, 1,
search("2",_st,,0) >0, 2,
search("3",_st,,0) >0, 3,
4)
