I am trying to create a 3rd table (table c) that will present all names has a "Full Name" column from table a, and will list all the names under "DISPLAY_NAME" from table b, and the LICENSE_NO column also from table b.
The license number should only be entered into table c if there is a match of the full name (from table a and b) if there is no match then a null value is entered into the License_No column in table c.
I have example tables below and I would be grateful for any help in this please.
I was using a crossjoin (below) but this did not work the way I wanted.
Table = CROSSJOIN(DISTINCT('Table1'[Contact ID]),DISTINCT('Table2'[BC #])
table a
Full Name |
Aaron |
Ryan |
Adam |
Peter |
John |
Kevin |
David |
Adrian |
Alex |
Bryan |
Allan |
Sarah |
Clare |
table b
DISPLAY_NAME | LICENCE_NO |
AARON | 1301 |
ADAM | 1305 |
PETER | 1309 |
JOHN | 1313 |
DAVID | 1317 |
ADRIAN | 1321 |
ALEX | 1325 |
ALLAN | 1329 |
SARAH | 1333 |
CLARE | 1337 |
table c (example of how I would like it to look like)
Full Name | License_No |
Aaron | 1301 |
Ryan | |
Peter | 1309 |
I am still struggling with this. I have tried the generate and although I followed your suggestion (and reviewed the youtube you advised), it didnt work for me. It was coming up with syntax errors on my table. I will keep trying.
thank you. i did check this video out, but is doesnt give me what i want, which is the following:
table c
Full Name | License_No |
Aaron | 1301 |
Ryan | null |
Adam | 1305 |
Peter | 1309 |
John | 1313 |
Kevin | null |
David | 1317 |
Adrian | 1321 |
Alex | 1325 |
Bryan | null |
Allan | 1329 |
Sarah | 1333 |
Clare | 1337 |
@macgeorge , Try with generate
generate('Table1'[Full Name], filter(Full Name, 'Table2'[DISPLAY_NAME] = upper('Table1'[Full Name])))
