Date table with extra items
Hi there,
What I need is a basic date table with some extra items.
In 1 table I have a calender from Power BI with Year and Month (multiple years, all months per year).
In the other table I have one column with a lot of items, for example a, b, c, etc.
I need to combine these two tables so that all items repeat for every month in every year.
For example:
2020 january a
2020 january b
2020 january c
2020 february a
2020 february b
2020 february c
etc.
Thanks for your help.

In DAX you have crossjoin
new table = Crossjoin(Table1,Table2)
new table = filter(Crossjoin(Table1,Table2), table1[A]= table2[A])
In case you join between two tables you can use summarize, calculatetable
Without seeing your tables I'm not 100% this will work, but you could try editing your query in the editor (Click transform data in the top ribbon in the desktop). Try merging the tables using a full outer join which should create a table with every item assigned to every item. If that doesn't work could you post some sample data, and I can take a look.
