Find matching value in related column and return link

Hello everyone!

 

I have two tables:
Table 1 (let's call it "Bank") has a code number for each registered bank and its name (it comes from our database);
Table 2 (let's call it "Plan") has a code number for each bank and a link to its logo image in google drive (it comes from an Excel file).

 

All codes in Plan are in Bank, but not all codes in Bank exist in Plan.

 

I need to create a calculated column in Plan that checks if the selected value in Bank exists in Plan. If it exists, then the column shows the corresponding link. If not, then it shows a specific link.

I am using the Simple Image visual to show the image, so the link column is marked as Image URL. This visual only accepts a column as value.

 

I have tried this dax expression:

Coluna = 
IF(
    SELECTEDVALUE(Bank[Code]) IN Plan;
    Plan[link];
    "my-link"
)

but I am getting an error saying that "function CONTAINSROW must have a value for each column in the table expression.

 

Anyone have any idea about how to solve this?

Thank you!


EDIT:

I tried this dax expression:

Coluna = 
IF(
    HASONEVALUE(Plan1[banco]);
    SELECTEDVALUE(Plan1[link 3]);
    "my-link"
)

but it always shows the static link image, no matter if there is a corresponding image to the selected bank code.

I reached another solution, a bit more complicated, but it worked just fine Smiley LOL

I created this calculated column in Bank, because I realized that my logic of creating it in Plan was wrong:

 

Coluna =
VAR CHECK =
    CALCULATE (
        COUNTROWS ( Plan ),
        FILTER ( Plan, Plan[code] = EARLIER ( Bank[Code] ) )
    ) > 0
VAR LINK =
    CALCULATE (
        FIRSTNONBLANK ( Plan[link], Plan[link] ),
        ALLEXCEPT ( Bank, Plan[code] )
    )
RETURN
    IF ( CHECK, LINK, "my-link" )

You may just use LOOKUPVALUE.

Column =
LOOKUPVALUE ( Plan[link], Plan[Code], Bank[Code], "my-link" )
