Connecting 3+ tables
I have 3 tables (projects, tool A, tool B) which are connected with project number, and need to get :
1. total projects
2. projects using tool A
3. projects using tool B
4. projects using tool A and B
5. projects not using A nor B tool
is there an easy way how to do this ?
only way i could think of is to create new table and bring there column projects from projects table (150k rows) and then add column related for A, new column related for B and do Venn diagram ?
or vlookups ?
thank you for help
Anonymous try following and tweak it from there :
Add two column in your main project table to define which project exists in which table
Project Exists in PS = VAR x = RELATED( PS[ProjectID] ) RETURN IF( x = BLANK(), 0, 1 ) Project Exists in PW = VAR x = RELATED(PW[ProjectID] ) RETURN IF( x = BLANK(), 0, 1 )
and then add a table using following DAX, it will put all projects together alongwith whcih category they are in
Total Projects = UNION( ADDCOLUMNS( Project, "Category", "Doesn't exists" ), ADDCOLUMNS( CALCULATETABLE( Project, FILTER( Project, Project[Project Exists in PS] = 1 && Project[Project Exists in PW] = 1 ) ), "Category", "Exists in Both" ), ADDCOLUMNS( CALCULATETABLE( Project, FILTER( Project, Project[Project Exists in PW] = 1 ) ), "Category", "Exists in PW" ), ADDCOLUMNS( CALCULATETABLE( Project, FILTER( Project, Project[Project Exists in PS] = 1 ) ), "Category", "Exists in PS" ) )
drop pie chart visual, use category from this new project table "Total Project" and use "count of project id" as value. I think this will get your what you are looking for.

Still not fully clear about your requirements.
Are you try to have pie chart based on
- name from PW and show total distinct projects
- name from PS and show total distinct projects
Is this correct?
