Data Relationships
Hi all,
I need your help to resolve the issue.
I have two tables A and B.
Table A
|Name|Price|
|A|6|
|B|8|
|C|10|
Table B
|Name|Cost|
|A|1|
|C|2|
I created a relationship between Table A Name and Table B Name.
Cardinality Many to Many + cross filter Single (Table A filters Table B).
Now I want to create a table with the following columns:
|Name (Table A)| Price (Table A)| Cost (Table B)|
But, I don't see record B from Table A, probably due to the fact it doesn't exist in table B. Could you help me out here?
The ideal outcome, I should see record B with Cost 0.
Thanks a lot!
I would recommend creating a third table to be a bridge table like this:
Table3 =
DISTINCT(
UNION(
SELECTCOLUMNS('Table1',"Name",[Name]),
SELECTCOLUMNS('Table2',"Name",[Name])
)
)
Create your relationships to both of your tables and use this bridge table in your visuals for Name.
Hi mkornel ,
You can try to create a new calculate table:
Table = ADDCOLUMNS ( 'Table A', "Cost", VAR x = LOOKUPVALUE ( 'Table B'[Cost], 'Table B'[Name], 'Table A'[Name] ) RETURN IF ( ISBLANK ( x ), 0, x ) )You will get the result like your expected:
Here is the demo, please try it: PBIX
