Display text with condition

Hello

I am developing a DQ report where I am showing ELEMENT_ID wise values with description. I have text for ELEMENT_ID in two different tables (Transactional and Master data). There I want a condition that at the runtime if for an ELEMENT_ID, there is no text in Transactional table then search for it in masterdata table. How can I achieve that?

For example:

Table 1 : master data

Element_ID        Description

1                          ABC

 

Table 2:

Element_ID        Description     Value

1                                                 10

2                          DEF                 20

 

Report:

Element_ID        Description     Value

1                         ABC                  10

2                          DEF                 20

 

 

Regards

Priya

@Anonymous add new column with something like this

 

New Description = 
IF ( ISBLANK( Table2[Description] ) || Table2[Description] = "", RELATED( MasterTable[Description], Table2[Description] )

Change table name and column name as per your data model.
