Join tables (not in)

Hi

 

I have table A with emails and table B with emails and status. I need to show in PBI the emails from table B with Status='Active'  that are not in Table A. Is there a simple way to do it?

 

Thanks!

    ezequiel ,

    Try EXCEPT()  

     

    If this solves your issues, please mark it as the solution, so that others can find it easily. Kudos are nice too.

    Syntax
    DAX
    
    Copy
    EXCEPT(<table_expression1>, <table_expression2>  
    Parameters
    Term	Definition
    Table_expression	Any DAX expression that returns a table.
    Return value
    A table that contains the rows of one table minus all the rows of another table.
    
    Remarks
    If a row appears at all in both tables, it and its duplicates are not present in the result set. If a row appears in only table_expression1, it and its duplicates will appear in the result set.
    
    The column names will match the column names in table_expression1.
    
    The returned table has lineage based on the columns in table_expression1 , regardless of the lineage of the columns in the second table. For example, if the first column of first table_expression has lineage to the base column C1 in the model, the Except will reduce the rows based on the availability of values in the first column of second table_expression and keep the lineage on base column C1 intact.
    
    The two tables must have the same number of columns.
    
    Columns are compared based on positioning, and data comparison with no type coercion.
    
    The set of rows returned depends on the order of the two expressions.
    
    The returned table does not include columns from tables related to table_expression1.

      Is it possible to apply the EXCEPT adding an additional filter? The reason is that I need to get the results only when the status of the email is 'Active' and this value is on other field.
