hi, I have to using the "Direct query table". it is big problem..
I don't have any choice about this.
"Must Use Direct Query"....
Table A [Direct Query]
| ID | |
| A | |
| A | |
| B | |
| B | |
| C |
Table B [Import ]
| ID | TEXT |
| A | X |
| B | Y |
| C | Z |
I want to Table C as like below
| ID | TEXT | New Aadd Column to Connect to another table |
| A | X | AX |
| A | X | AX |
| B | Y | BY |
| B | Y | BY |
| C | Z | CZ |
Solved! Go to Solution.
Try this measure with Table A ID and table B text
You can create a power Bi table like this even in direct query mode
addcolumns(crossjoin(selectcolumns(TableA, "IDA",TableA[ID]),TableB),"New COl",[IDA] & [TEXT])

Hi @ChoiJunghoon ,
(Note: My tableA has one more row of data than yours, so the result is different.)
--table relationship
1. Create a calculated table 'TableC'
TableC = TableA
2. Create two calculated columns.
Text =
LOOKUPVALUE(
TableB[Text],
TableB[ID], 'TableC'[ID]
)New Aadd Column to Connect to another table = CONCATENATE( TableC[ID], TableC[Text] )
You can also use ADDCOLUMNS() function to merge formulas together.
Best regards,

Below are the steps I followed to create the required table TableC.
Got o Modelling on the menu bar and select the option as in the screenshot below.
and insert the below code in that formula bar that pops up.
TableC = addcolumns(crossjoin(selectcolumns(TableA, "ID",TableA[ID]),'TableB'),"New Aadd Column to Connect to another table",CONCATENATE('TableB'[ID],TableB[TEXT]))
And you will see a new table on the Fields section.
