    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    If you have the "one to many" relationship  from master tables to the others, we can try to create a calculated column using following formula:

     

    Status =
"Server: " & CONCATENATEX ( RELATEDTABLE ( 'Server' ), [Status], "," )
    & UNICHAR ( 10 ) & "Workstation: "
    & CONCATENATEX ( RELATEDTABLE ( 'Workstation' ), [Status], "," )

     

    If they have the one to one relationship, we can use the following formula to create a calculated column:

    Status =
"Server: " & RELATED ( 'Server'[Status] )
    & UNICHAR ( 10 ) & "Workstation: "
    & RELATED ( 'Workstation'[Status] )

     


    If it doesn't meet your requirement, kindly share your sample data and expected result to me if you don't have any Confidential Information. Please upload your files to One Drive and share the link here.

Thanks! I created the relationship but  the column that should have the combined values from Server and Workstation is not doing so?
