DAX - New table, adding specific values based on original column
Hi all,
Not 100% sure how to explain this, but I'll try.
Let's say ive got a table with 2 columns:
UserId, Package Code
And another table with 2 columns:
Package Code, Product Code
My goal is to create 1 new table which has all the data from Table 1, but adds the relevant Product Codes as well. Each Package code could have 1, 2 or more Product Codes.
Any thoughts on how to approach this?
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
In the Query Editor, merge Table2 into Table1 based on the Package Code. If a Package code has multiple Product codes, then multiple lines will get created in the merged dataset.

Hi patrick3 ,
You can directly create a column in table 1 with below code:
column = lookupvalue(table2[product_code],table2[Package Code],table[Package Code])Please let me know if i am gettting your question correctly.
Sorry, I may not have explained well - that would work only if there was 1 Product Code per package but there would be multiple.
Hi,
Create a relationship (Many to One and Single) from the Package Code column of Table2 to the Package code column of Table1. To your visual, drag Package code from Table1 and Product code from Table 2.
Hope this helps.
Hi,
That would work, except I will need to do further calculations on the table, which cannot be done just in a measure
