I have 2 tables and want to compare two columns (one from each) in query editor or dax. I just need a yes they (the text values) match or no (text values) don't match in a new column. Secondly I need a count of all the orders that do not match to table 2.
Table 1 (Primary Table)
Order No | Order Status |
1234 | Resolved |
1235 | Pending |
1236 | Open |
1237 | Resolved |
1238 | Resolved |
1239 | Pending |
Table 2
Order No | Order Status |
1234 | Open |
1235 | Resolved |
1236 | Pending |
1237 | Resolved |
1238 | Resolved |
1239 | Open |
I want a new column to be created (in either table) that shows when the Order status values in rows from each table match, as below:-
Order No | Order Status | Column 3 |
1234 | Resolved | No Match |
1235 | Pending | No Match |
1236 | Open | Match |
1237 | Resolved | Match |
1238 | Resolved | Match |
1239 | Pending | No Match |
Do i need to do this as a merge query or dax ?
Thanks

Hi @aj1973 unfortunatelty this didn't work 😞
The count is just giving me the count of all the rows in the 1st table not the new table created.
Also I have a change in requirement I need the 3rd table to show the order no, order status from both table 1 and 2, and new column to be created that shows when the Order status values in rows from each table match, as below:-
Order No | Order Status (T1) | Order Status (T2) | Column 3 |
1234 | Open | Resolved | No Match |
1235 | Resolved | Pending | No Match |
1236 | Pending | Open | Match |
1237 | Resolved | Resolved | Match |
1238 | Resolved | Resolved | Match |
1239 | Open | Pending | No Match |
I am getting duplicate rows when I take both table columns however can see the match/no match values. whereas if I do your example way it shows me all values as no match
@Anonymous
How it is not working? what did you change? Can you send me the same file that is not showing the correct result?
I just updated the file using different way (Added all columns to Table 1). Check it out.

Here is your file corrected
I changed the way of calculation: I added 2 columns to OEC_ Table:
I renamed the "No need table" and "No need measure" delete them if you want.
Hope you like it😁

@aj1973 thank you! There is an issue - the value are not suppose to be empty in the ESR status when there is no match it should have a value.
I'm not sure if its because I determined a 1:1 relationship.

@aj1973 Hi Amine,
I have a new table which is the different date range of orders (table 1) How do I move all the calculations to connect to the new table instead of the exisiting table 1?
I don't want to redo all the calculations.
Thanks
@Anonymous sorry but i am kinda lost here. what's the issue? I thought it was solved Ain't it?

Indeed, 1:1 relationship is not recommended
Better way is to add a Calendar Table and
but you are going to need to change some calculations.
another way is to filter out the Blank rows from the filter pane.

Hello,
i tired to enter this in as a new coulum but all i got back was "match" when i know some dont match.
any reason why this would happen?
Hi @Rookzie

Can you open a new thread with more details of your issue and share it with me please?

Hi @aj1973 I had the same issue as Rookzie, looks like the formula worked with no errors but the but all the results are a "match" ,
Looking at this again I see that my tables don't have a common column, the common column, when they interact the common column or the intersection is in another table. Do you know how I can do this?
could you advise why this might be? thank you!
Hi @Anonymous
Thank you for contacting me but this thread is more that a year old, there is always new things in Power Bi that I can help you with in your case. Besides every model is unqiue therefore can you share yours so I can be more helpfull?
As I replied to Rookzie, he needed to open a new thread however from what you have described maybe adding an external Excel file with a "Commun Column" could help you out!
So please Open a new thread and share your Model OR text me in Private if it would suits you better.
