How to check various values in another table and assess them before bringing them in

Hello everyone!

 

I have a small problem and I cannot get it done... I'm thinking that I might need to use a RELATED or 

LOOKUPVALUE but I cannot get it done.
 
In brief I have the following tables
 
Table A - Potential Clients

 

LeadIDLead DaysLevelActivate
6463980LowTRUE
6477160MedimFALSE
6477730HighTRUE

 

Table B - Notes on Clients

 

Note IDLeadIDCreation DateSubject

1761546463914/12/20202nd call

The relation is one (table A) to many (tableB)

 

Now I need preferably a calculated column in Table A, lets call it a "phase" , which will be doing something the following logic

 

1. If TableA(Activate)=False -> ok this part is easy:p

AND in TableB(Comments) does NOT equal "Discovery" -> this is what I'm not sure how to do. i.e. check only matching leadID's if there is not a comment called "Discovery"

Then = "Not Ready"

ELSE

 

2. If TableA(Activate)=False

AND in TableB(Comments) = "Discovery" for same leadID's

Then = "New"

 

ELSE

3. If TableA(Level)=medium or high

AND in TableB(Comments) is NOT "Discovery" or "Onboarded"

Then = "Jump"

 

There are various other statements to get my full list, but those are my main issues... how to check all comments in TABLE B before assessing what "phase" they are?

@aabi , Check a new column example

 

Switch ( True() ,

TableA[Activate] = true() && countx(Filter(relatedtable(TableB), TableB[Comment]<> "Discovery"),TableB[LeadID]) +0 >0 , "Not Ready",
TableA[Activate] = false() && countx(Filter(relatedtable(TableB), TableB[Comment]= "Discovery"),TableB[LeadID]) +0 >0 , "New",
TableA[Level] in {"medium","high"} && countx(Filter(relatedtable(TableB), not(TableB[Comment] in {"Discovery" , "Onboarded"})),TableB[LeadID]) +0 >0 , "New",

)

Hi @amitchandak

 

Thank you! I really appreciate this!

 

This is a really smart/interesting way of Power BI/DAX usage!

I have also updated it accordingly to add some more rules and it seems to do what I need!
