DAX Issues

Hey All,

 

I am trying to using EVALUATE (or anything better) table function in DAX and it keeps giving me a error (red line under EVALUATE).

 

  1. I have two Table's - Table 1 and Table 2. Table 1 has all ID's that I want in the resulting final table and everything else from Table 2
  2. Table 2 is a DAX Generated Table so I cannot use Power Query Merge option since it does not show up there, if it did I was golden

I am trying to achieve the below:

 

TABLE 1 WITH ALL ID'S - 

 

TABLE 1 IDCOLUMN1COLUMN2COLUMN3COLUMN4COLUMN5
1XABTTYYIYT
2YBCTGYYYRTS
3ZCDTHHQQQHHD

 

 

 

TABLE 2 WITH ONLY 1 MATCHING ID 

 

TABLE 2 IDDESCRIPTIONVALIDITYTENURE
1THIS IS ON SALEYES12 MONTHS
23232THIS IS OUT OF STOCKNO2 MONTHS
112341DISCOUNTEDYES

3 MONTHS

 

 

 

 

RESULTING TABLE THAT IS NEEDED

 

TABLE 1 IDDESCRIPTIONVALIDITYTENURE
1THIS IS ON SALEYES12 MONTHS
2NULLNULLNULL
3NULLNULLNULL

 

 

I know the above is easily availbale with Merge and then do a LEFT JOIN in it in Power Query, but my Table 2 is a DAX Generated Table which does not show up on the Power Query side for me to MERGE with Table 1. 

 

 

Thank You

Hi @nirvana_moksh,

 

Create a relationship between both tables then add the TABLE1 ID to your table visual and the Other columns from table 2.

 

then filter out all blanks from TABLE1 ID

So when I do that then the resulting Table only shows values that are also present in Table 2 based on the ID, I have the relationship set already. I just want all ID's from Table 1 and corresponding values from Table 2 and nulls for where there is no value present in Table 2. I did play with EVALUATE and GENERATEALL but that did not get me where I wanted this to be.
