Conditional formatting based on two values/fields in separate tables

trying to work out how i can achieve this and apply a conditional format (new to DAX):

 

for example two tables:

 

table 1                 table 2

Field 1                     Field 1            

A                           10

B                            15

C                            10

C                            60

A                            40

 

So just need something like this:

if         

table1.field 1 = A and table2.field1 <= 10  or  table1.field 1 = B and table2.field1 <= 15 or table1.field 1 = C and table2.field1 <= 20 then ' Value 1'

 

table1.field 1 = A and (table2.field1 > 10 or less than 20)  or  table1.field 1 = B and (table2.field1 > 15 and less than 30) or table1.field 1 = C and (table2.field1 > 20 and less than 40) then ' Value 2'

 

else

value 3

 

i could then apply conditional format based on value 1, 2 or 3

 

thanks

Hi @cheezy ,

If the two tables only have one column, maybe you can create a measure like this:

Measure = 
var _t1 = SELECTEDVALUE(Table1[Field1])
var _t2 = SELECTEDVALUE(Table2[Field1])
return
IF(
    ( _t1 = "A" && _t2 <=10 ) ||
    ( _t1 = "B" && _t2 <=15 ) ||
    ( _t1 = "C" && _t2 <=20 ),
    "Value1",
    IF(
        ( _t1 = "A" && ( _t2 >10 || _t2 < 20 ) ) ||
        ( _t1 = "B" && ( _t2 >15 && _t2 < 30 ) ) ||
        ( _t1 = "C" && ( _t2 >20 && _t2 < 40 ) ),
        "Value2",
        "Value3"
    )
)

@cheezy , does these tables have any common field. If not then you have to use crossjoin and summarize

 

example

table2 = SUMMARIZE(filter(CROSSJOIN(Sheet1,Table),Table[Date]>=(Sheet1[last Date]) && Table[Date]<=(Sheet1[Start Date])),Sheet1[ID],Sheet1[Name],table[Status],Table[Date],Sheet1[Start Date],Sheet1[End Date])

 

Filter is optional. you can create the column in summarize as per need

 

or selectcolumns and crossjoin
