Count IF between 2 tables

[DaveRaul]

Hey,

I've tried to create a new table (table1) for counting links, if they are in the other table ( the libary-table).

If the links are in the libary, I want to know how often they are in table1.

See the picture from excel: 

Please mind, that the libary has only the "main-parts" of the links. So I guess we have to work with asterisks.

Many thanks in advance,

Nick

Hi @DaveRaul,

You can create a calculated columns in the table like below:

Column = var t=LEFT('Table1'[Target - URL],SEARCH("/",'Table1'[Target - URL])-1)
return
RIGHT(t,LEN(t)-SEARCH(".",t))

Count = IF( RELATED( 'Library'[Library -  URL] ) <> BLANK(), CALCULATE( COUNTROWS( Table1 ), ALLEXCEPT( Table1, Table1[Column] ) ) )

Thank you very much for the answer.

I tried your code but it does not work properly 😕

I got the following problem:

If the string is extactly the same or of it is seperated by '/', it does work, .

But the code has to recognize the Url, if the Url just contains the library-Url-String. 

In Excel one can write an asterisk like: if("cde"="*d*","Yes","No")

in this case i want the response "Yes", but your code deliveres for this case "No".

I realised this wasn't exactly formulated. Sorry for that.

Hi @DaveRaul,

In DAX, it doesn't have function perform as wildcards. The DAX provided in my previous reply is based on your sample data, as you mentioned it will not work, can you please share the sample to clarify which scenario doesn't work?

Hey,

I want to count the target - URL's, if they exist in the Libary-table. Please see the image below:

I thought I can handle this with a new table and the summarize-function, but I'm stuck. I don't really care, if I have to add a new column or a new table or just a measure. The main part is, that this function has to work 🙂

Many thanks in advance,

Dave
