How to add a new column with the calculate result from other table?

Hi ,

I have two tables, such as following,

table A

Week    Feature_Name   Status

W18       Feat-1               New

W18       Feat-2               New

W18       Feat-3               Approve

W19       Feat-1               Approve

W19       Feat-2               Commit

W19       Feat-3               Commit     

 

table B

Week      Test      Status      Feature

W18       Test-1    Pass        Feat-1

W18       Test-2    Pass        Feat-1

W18       Test-3    Fail          Feat-1

W18       Test-4    Fail          Feat-2

W18        Test-5    Pass       Feat-2

W19       Test-6     Pass       Feat-3

 

I want to add a new cloumn to table A by using the Power Query Editor, the value is 

count_rows(Table A[Week] == Table B[Week] and Table A[Feature] == Table B[Feature] and Table B[Status]=="Pass")

 

Do you know how to do it ? Thank you very much!

Hey,

 

Just do this in a dax measure. Typically things like count, sum, avg, ... are aggregations i.e. they're put in 'one field' and aren't really suitable for columns.

 

calculate(count(Table A[Week]);Table A[Week] = related(Table B[Week]);A[Feature] = related(Table B[Feature]); Table B[Status]="Pass"))

 

Hello @Anonymous 

Thank you for your reply.

it seems that  related(Table B[Week]) is not correct, only measure can be refered by the related function. Can you help to double check?

Could you try it without related then? 

Hi @Anonymous 

 

it's the same, only measure value can be refered.

So on the lefthand side of power BI you have 3 'tabs' the first one is your visual, the second one is your data and the third one is the relationships tab. Have you already made your relationships between the tables?

The relationship between these two tables already created.

as you can see the above two pictures,

one is the relationship of the two columns TestReport[Week] and Executions[Week]

 

the other picture is to use the calculation, and the error info.

Could you please give me a demo if possible? Thank you!

Wait, are you even making a measure and not just a calculated column. Could you screenshot the entire error message?
