Hi all,
I have two tables which have the same columns.
How can I write the below code to return values and look up against both tables?
1. Export Actions
2. Export Actions - History
Solved! Go to Solution.
HI @HenryJS ,
You can try to use the following measure formula to get distinct count from the merged table:
Candidate Calls =
VAR _list =
FILTER (
UNION (
SELECTCOLUMNS (
'Export Actions',
"UserName", [UserName],
"ActionName", [ActionName],
"ActionDate", [ActionDate],
"CandidateRef", [CandidateRef]
),
SELECTCOLUMNS (
'Export Actions - History',
"UserName", [UserName],
"ActionName", [ActionName],
"ActionDate", [ActionDate],
"CandidateRef", [CandidateRef]
)
),
[ActionName]
IN {
"Call - Check In",
"Call - Follow Up",
"Call - Proactive Approach",
"Call - Update"
}
)
RETURN
COUNTROWS ( SUMMARIZE ( _list, [CandidateRef] ) )

You can Union the tables in memory in the DAX. Consider using SELECTCOLUMNS if it runs slow.
Candidate Calls =
var _uniontable = union(TableA, TableB)
RETURN
calculate(DISTINCTCOUNT(_uniontable ,'Export Actions'[ActionName] in {"Call - Check In","Call - Follow Up", "Call - Proactive Approach", "Call - Update"},'Export Actions'[ActionDate] )
