Hi, we have two tables in pbix, "Table1" and "Table2".
can anyone help me writing a "Measure" for this requirement? that can replace table 1 values with table 2 (there is no relatonship between tables).
Thanks in advance.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @yodha ,
Please check:
1. Try to replace value in Power Query editor.
= Table.ReplaceValue(#"Changed Type",each [Value], each if [Group]=false and [Type] = false and [#"Sub-type"]=false then (let Name_ = [Name] in Table.SelectRows(#"Table 2", each [Name] = Name_ and [Type] = "new")){0}[Value] else [Value],Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"Value"})
2. Or you can create a calculated column or a measure in Power BI Desktop.
Column =
IF (
'Table 1'[Group] && 'Table 1'[Type]
&& 'Table 1'[Sub-type],
'Table 1'[Value],
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Table 2'[Value] ),
FILTER (
'Table 2',
'Table 2'[Name] = 'Table 1'[Name]
&& 'Table 2'[Type] = "new"
)
)
)
Measure =
IF (
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table 1'[Group] ) && SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table 1'[Type] )
&& SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table 1'[Sub-type] ),
SUM ( 'Table 1'[Value] ),
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Table 2'[Value] ),
FILTER (
'Table 2',
'Table 2'[Name] = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table 1'[Name] )
&& 'Table 2'[Type] = "new"
)
)
)
BTW, .pbix file attached.

Hi @yodha ,
I would go step by step.
1. Generate columns in table 2 that you need to link to table 1. (Conditional Columns)
2. Merge the tables over these columns together.
3. Find the desired value using a conditional column.
Take a look at the attached PBIX.

Hi @yodha ,
Why don't you use Power Query?
