    Hi tanako123

     

    Your Tableau formula is the equivalent of a calculated column that says:

    1. For each row, examine all rows with [FormulierId] equal to the value in the current row
    2. If any of those rows has [Type melding (group)] with substring 'Reguliere melding' then return 'Reguliere melding'
    3. Else if any of those rows has [Type melding (group)] with substring 'Politiemelding' then return 'Politiemelding'
    4. Else return Null

     

    The DAX equivalent would have to be a calculated column with code like this (I'm calling the table Data):

     

    Calculated Column =
    IF (
        NOT (
            ISEMPTY (
                CALCULATETABLE (
                    VALUES ( Data[Type melding (group)] ),
                    ALLEXCEPT ( Data, Data[FormulierId] ),
                    NOT ( ISERROR ( FIND ( "Reguliere melding", Data[Type melding (group)] ) ) )
                )
            )
        ),
        "Reguliere melding",
        IF (
            NOT (
                ISEMPTY (
                    CALCULATETABLE (
                        VALUES ( Data[Type melding (group)] ),
                        ALLEXCEPT ( Data, Data[FormulierId] ),
                        NOT ( ISERROR ( FIND ( "Politiemelding", Data[Type melding (group)] ) ) )
                    )
                )
            ),
            "Politiemelding"
        )
    )

     

    By the way, the Tableau formula is written a little strangely, since

     

    { FIXED [FormulierId]:MAX('Reguliere melding')}

    could be replaced with

    'Reguliere melding'

     but this could be because it started off as something more complex.
