DAX Union with Measure Column

[patfee]

Table_1 contains Name, Description and Date

Table_2 contains Name, Description

in Table_2 i add the Date column by using measure column. The Date is based on a slicer value

When i then use DAX to Union both Table_1 and 2 i get an error as the tables are not equal.

in other words, the Date in Table_2, created by a measure, is not seen as a "real" column

How can i solve this please?

Hey @Anonymous 

I have a similar issue, did you figure how to make the table to refresh on slicer changes?

Hey @Anonymous , if you want to have this table appear in the fields pane, the simple answer is: no.

You can use this table as a virtual table  inside other measures as input for calculation though.

Hey,

this DAX statement creates a table:

Table = 
UNION(
    Table1
    ,ADDCOLUMNS(
        SUMMARIZE('Table2'
            ,Table2[ID]
            ,Table2[thisorthat]
        )
        ,"amount", [amount]
    )
)

there is a measure "[amount]" this is added as a column using the function ADDCOLUMNS(...)

But you have to be aware, that tables (outside of a measure) that are based on a DAX statement will only be re-calculated on data refresh and not if a query is issued, e.g. if a slicer is changed.

Hey Tom,

Is there anyway to make the table responsive to slicers?
