How can I filter one table first, then filter the result of that table using a second table?

How can I replicate this in dax?  I know i'll need a calculate or calculatetable, but i'm not sure how to filter one table first, then filter the result of that table from a different table. 

 

The query is something like this:

 

Select table1_columnA, table2_columnB etc....

from table1, table2

where

table1_columnA = table2_columnA

and table1_columnB  not in (select nvl(table3_columnA,'000000') from table3 where table3_columnA = 'OUT OF SERVICE')

 

What i want would be the count of the resulting table. 

Thanks

Hi, @wpf_ 

 

If your relationship is established, you can also use related(table[column]) directly like:

a =
CALCULATETABLE (
    TABLE1,
    RELATED ( TABLE2[TBL2_CODE] ),
    RELATED ( Table3[TBL3_CODE] ),
    RELATED ( TABLE4[TBL4_CODE] ),
    RELATED ( TABLE4[TBL4_CLASS] ) IN { "A", "B", "C", "D", "E" },
    RELATED ( Table3[TBL3_VALUE] ) <> "OUT OF SERVICE",
    'Date'[Year Month Name] = "2021-Aug"
)

Or If the relationship is inactive, Do you consider using 'USERELATIONSHIP' function?

Hi @wpf_ 

Can you share sample data and require output?

@PijushRoy ,

 

I can't really share because its huge.  Can you provide me a sample code and the functions i can use?  I just need a little clue to get going.  Thanks.  

@wpf_ 

As requested, I am sharing the concept
VAR _tbl1colA = SELECTEDVALUE('Table1'[ColumnA])
VAR _tbl1colB = SELECTEDVALUE('Table1'[ColumnB])
VAR _tbl2colB = SELECTEDVALUE('Table2'[ColumnB])
VAR _tbl3colA = SELECTEDVALUE('Table3'[ColumnA])
RETURN
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
_tbl1colA=_tbl2colB && NOT _tbl1colB IN ......... && _tbl3colA = "OUT OF SERVICE"

Arrange it as per your requirement. (&& means AND)

@PijushRoy 

 

I got it working  by using a calculatetable:  It looks something like this:

 

Table test =

 

CALCULATETABLE(
TABLE1,
TREATAS(VALUES(TABLE1[TBL1_TBL2ECT]), TABLE2[TBL2_CODE]),
TREATAS(VALUES(TABLE1[TBL1_CODE]), Table3[TBL3_CODE]),
TREATAS(VALUES(TABLE1[TBL1_PPM]), TABLE4[TBL4_CODE]),
TABLE4[TBL4_CLASS] IN {"A", "B", "C", "D" "E" },
Table3[TBL3_VALUE] <> "OUT OF SERVICE",
'Date'[Year Month Name]= "2021-Aug"
)

 

Question;

 

1) Since I already have relationships with the tables, I guess i really didn't need to use 'Treatas'.  But what function would I be using in replace of it since I have 4 tables here.  

 

2) What can i use besides 'Values' if I want repeating values of a column?  

 

3)How can I do a comparison with two dates columns in this filter?  I want to do something like:

TABLE1[TBL_DateCompleted] <= ( TABLE1[TBL_DUE} + 7 )
 
But intelesense does not allow me to input the second column: TABLE1[TBL_DUE}
 
Thanks

What can I use instead of "treatas" if I have the relationships set up already?

 

Table test =

 

CALCULATETABLE(
TABLE1,
TREATAS(VALUES(TABLE1[TBL1_TBL2ECT]), TABLE2[TBL2_CODE]),
TREATAS(VALUES(TABLE1[TBL1_CODE]), Table3[TBL3_CODE]),
TREATAS(VALUES(TABLE1[TBL1_PPM]), TABLE4[TBL4_CODE]),
TABLE4[TBL4_CLASS] IN {"A", "B", "C", "D" "E" },
Table3[TBL3_VALUE] <> "OUT OF SERVICE",
'Date'[Year Month Name]= "2021-Aug"
)

@wpf_ 

I think, if you try the calculated column, it is easy for you and solve your question.

3)How can I do a comparison with two dates columns in this filter?  I want to do something like:

TABLE1[TBL_DateCompleted] <= ( TABLE1[TBL_DUE} + 7 )
Yes or create calculate table with Date+7 and use the column

I solved 3).  I had to use the filter function to compare two dates.  

 

But what can I use instead of treatas in this scenario if I have all the relationships set up already?

 

 

Table test =

 

CALCULATETABLE(
TABLE1,
TREATAS(VALUES(TABLE1[TBL1_TBL2ECT]), TABLE2[TBL2_CODE]),
TREATAS(VALUES(TABLE1[TBL1_CODE]), Table3[TBL3_CODE]),
TREATAS(VALUES(TABLE1[TBL1_PPM]), TABLE4[TBL4_CODE]),
TABLE4[TBL4_CLASS] IN {"A", "B", "C", "D" "E" },
Table3[TBL3_VALUE] <> "OUT OF SERVICE",
'Date'[Year Month Name]= "2021-Aug"
)

Hi, @wpf_ 

 

If your relationship is established, you can also use related(table[column]) directly like:

a =
CALCULATETABLE (
    TABLE1,
    RELATED ( TABLE2[TBL2_CODE] ),
    RELATED ( Table3[TBL3_CODE] ),
    RELATED ( TABLE4[TBL4_CODE] ),
    RELATED ( TABLE4[TBL4_CLASS] ) IN { "A", "B", "C", "D", "E" },
    RELATED ( Table3[TBL3_VALUE] ) <> "OUT OF SERVICE",
    'Date'[Year Month Name] = "2021-Aug"
)

Or If the relationship is inactive, Do you consider using 'USERELATIONSHIP' function?

I got it to work by using relatedtable. Thank you for giving me the idea.

Thanks for your reply.  Let me try this and get back to you.
