Hello,
I would like to create a table that shows the total from two other tables for a specific date. Additionally, I would like the option to drill down to see the components of that total (e.g. is it CP, FI, or a coupon?).
Here is an example of one table (Table 1)
| Entity | CP/FI | Issuer | Amount | Maturity |
| A | CP | T | $ 19,000,000 | 6/28/2022 |
| B | CP | AMCR | $ 10,000,000 | 7/1/2022 |
| C | FI | WMT | $ 25,500,000 | 7/1/2022 |
| D | CP | T | $ 8,000,000 | 7/7/2022 |
Here is an example of the other table (Table 2).
| Entity | CP/FI | Issuer | Coupon Payment | Coupon Date | Coupon? |
| A | FI | GS | $ 10,000 | 6/28/2022 | Coupon |
| A | FI | F | $ 15,000 | 7/1/2022 | Coupon |
| B | FI | GOOG | $ 12,000 | 7/8/2022 | Coupon |
| B | FI | META | $ 5,000 | 7/9/2022 | Coupon |
Here is the desired result not drilled down
| Date | Amount |
| 6/28/2022 | $ 19,010,000 |
| 7/1/2022 | $ 10,015,000 |
| 7/8/2022 | $ 25,512,000 |
| 7/9/2022 | $ 8,005,000 |
here is the desired Result Drilled down
| Date | Amount | Entity | Issuer | Type |
| 6/28/2022 | $ 10,000 | A | GS | Coupon |
| 6/28/2022 | $ 19,000,000 | A | T | CP |
| 7/1/2022 | $ 15,000 | A | F | Coupon |
| 7/1/2022 | $ 10,000,000 | B | AMCR | CP |
| 7/8/2022 | $ 25,500,000 | C | WMT | FI |
| 7/8/2022 | $ 12,000 | B | GOOG | Coupon |
| 7/9/2022 | $ 5,000 | B | META | Coupon |
| 7/9/2022 | $ 8,000,000 | D | T | CP |
Is this possible? Thank you in advance for your help!
@amitchandak I can't use UNION because the tables have different numbers of columns with different data in them.
@Anonymous , You can use append in power query and delete duplicates
Append : https://radacad.com/append-vs-merge-in-power-bi-and-power-query
or you can use selectcolumns or summarize to get the columns you need
https://www.sqlbi.com/articles/from-sql-to-dax-joining-tables/
Can you be more specific as to how that's done with selectcolumns or summarize? I cannot use append as Table 2 is already a generated table
@Anonymous , You need to create common date , entity , issuer , CP/FI, type etc
example common entity
entity = distinct(Union(distinct(Table1[entity]),distinct(Table2[entity]) ) )
Date tbale you can create like
Addcolumns(calendar(date(2020,01,01), date(2021,12,31) ), "Month no" , month([date])
, "Year", year([date])
, "Month Year", format([date],"mmm-yyyy")
, "Month year sort", year([date])*100 + month([date])
, "Month",FORMAT([Date],"mmmm")
, "Month sort", month([DAte])
)
Join with both tables and use these table for slicer and in visual as common group bys
