How to create a sub table (like sub query on SQL) in Power BI Desktop?

‎01-05-2018 12:45 PM

Hello,

I have an inventory table that contains store names, Product, Skus, On transfer quantity, On hand quantity and on order quantity etc.  I am trying to join this table with other, but it will not allow me because of the duplicates (Ones of the powerBI member told me to use store name + sku it did not work either due to same reason.

I figure out what is wrong with it, but I have no idea how make a sub table from inventory. Please see below example.

You can do it with DAX as well by creating a new Calculated Table

 

Go to Modelling Tab>>> NEW TABLE

 

New Table= Distinct(TableName)
