How can I create a user table with dax ?
- 5 years ago
Hi paulineCom ,
Can you give a little bit more information please? What is the syntax you are using and the information you want to place in the table.
To creata a table in dax you have several options but this depends on the way you want to build you can do:
Table2 = ADDCOLUMNS ( DISTINCT ( 'Table'[Name] ); "E-mail"; 'Table'[Name] & "@gmail.com"; "Role"; SWITCH ( 'Table'[Name]; "A"; "MANAGER"; "WORKER" ) )This table uses the distinct values of Name column in another tables and add two additional tables one with e-mail and another with role based no the name of the person
You can also create a table with a single column:
Table2 = DISTINCT ( 'Table'[Name] )And the add each individual column:
E-mail = 'Table2'[Name] & "@gmail.com" Role = SWITCH ( 'Table2'[Name]; "A"; "MANAGER"; "WORKER" )You can create a table with all values written direcftly in the code:
Table 3 = UNION ( ROW ( "Name"; "A"; "E-mail"; "[email protected]"; "Role"; "Manager" ); ROW ( "Name"; "B"; "E-mail"; "[email protected]"; "Role"; "Worker" ); ROW ( "Name"; "C"; "E-mail"; "[email protected]"; "Role"; "Worker" ) )There is a various number of ways to build this, I know I have been very generic but without any sample data is difficult to pin point what is happening in your model.
Hi paulineCom ,
Did you try selecting just 3 columns from your main table and creating your table?
You can do this easily in Query editor in Power BI.
- Richt click on your base table -> select REFERENCE (this creates a new table)
- select the columns you want in this table and delete others.
- Remove duplicate rows from your USER column.
- Create a relationship as required.
Thanks,
Pragati
