Create a distinct list/table from multiple other tables

[abloor]

Hi,

I need to create a list/tabe of distinct/unique Names, but I need to take the values from a few different tables.

I have done this already in my document from one table with the below measure.  Can you please help me change it so I take it from 3 places? eg Table 1, Table 2 and Table 3?  These tables each have a slightly different list of names, some of which are duplicated in each table, some are unique.

NameBridging = CALCULATETABLE(DISTINCT('Table 1'[Name]),'Table 1'[Name] <> BLANK())

Thanks in advance!

Hi @abloor ,

To fix the error "Circular dependency detected" , you might not use CALCULATE or CALCULATETABLE function in the DAX bridge table.

You can create calculated table like DAX below, then you can filter out the blank value and create relationships as you need.

Table = UNION(DISTINCT('Table 1'[Name]), DISTINCT('Table 2'[Name]),DISTINCT('Table 3'[Name]))

Best Regards,

Is it possible to use filter on one of the table to remove some unwanted attributes from the table

Thanks @v-xicai that seems to have done the trick.

Thanks for you help @Anonymous as well.

@abloor please try values and union function

Table = UNION(
VALUES(Table1[Name]),VALUES(Table2[Name]),VALUES(Table3[Name]))

Thanks @Anonymous  that seems to be doing the trick however I can't link up the new table to Table 1 in the relationships view as it says there is a Circular dependency detected.  It's letting me link up Table 2 and 3 however.  I will have a play to see if I can get it working, but if you or anyone else has any other ideas that would be great.

Thanks very much.
