How to write a Measure using two tables?
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.
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.
