Hello
could anyone please help me with following?
I have below table and I would need to make pairs of Codes by column Name - is there a way how to do it in Power BI??
example - I would need a result of a new table where first column would be Name and in the second column combination of 2 Codes:
Thank you very much!
ORIGINAL TABLE:
Code | Name |
Code1 | Name1 |
Code2 | Name1 |
Code3 | Name1 |
Code1 | Name2 |
Code2 | Name2 |
Code2 | Name3 |
Code3 | Name3 |
Code5 | Name3 |
Code6 | Name3 |
NEW TABLE:
Code | Name |
Code1 + Code2 | Name1 |
Code1 + Code3 | Name1 |
Code2 + Code3 | Name1 |
Code1 + Code2 | Name2 |
Code2 + Code3 | Name3 |
Code2 + Code5 | Name3 |
Code3 + Code6 | Name3 |
Code5 + Code6 | Name3 |
Solved! Go to Solution.
@KatkaS Try:
Table 2 =
VAR __Table =
GENERATE(
'TableCodes',
DISTINCT(SELECTCOLUMNS(FILTER(ALL(TableCodes),[Name] = EARLIER(TableCodes[Name])),"__Code",[Code]))
)
RETURN
SELECTCOLUMNS(
ADDCOLUMNS(
FILTER(__Table,[Code] <> [__Code]),
"__New",[Code] & " + " & [__Code]
),
"Name",[Name],
"Code",[__New]
)
@KatkaS Try:
Table 2 =
VAR __Table =
GENERATE(

)
RETURN

@Greg_Deckler , may I have an additional question...?
Your solution works as charm, but I received new file with added information - entity code (new column in the original table)
It means that one person could work for multiple companies and have various code combinations.
I would need to find out combinations (as you already showed me how), but within one company.
Could you look at that? Thank you very much!
@KatkaS I imagine something along the lines of:
Table 2 =
VAR __Company = "Company 1"
VAR __Table =
GENERATE(
FILTER('TableCodes', [Company] = __Company
DISTINCT(SELECTCOLUMNS(FILTER(ALL(TableCodes),[Name] = EARLIER(TableCodes[Name] && [Company] = __Company)),"__Code",[Code]))
)
RETURN
SELECTCOLUMNS(
ADDCOLUMNS(
FILTER(__Table,[Code] <> [__Code]),
"__New",[Code] & " + " & [__Code]
),
"Name",[Name],
"Code",[__New]
)
@Greg_Deckler I appreaciate you support very much! I tried above solution, but it returnes an syntax error.. could you please loot at it? I will try to send you the dashboard via personal message. Thank you!
