Hi all
I need Help for a Measure (Or Maybe its better with a whole table)
i have 2 tables:
table1 = importet table
| ID | Name | Comment | Date | Status |
| 1 | name1 | test1 | 01.01.2021 | finish |
| 2 | name2 | 09.02.2021 | finish | |
| 3 | name3 | 15.05.2021 | delay | |
| 4 | name4 | test1 | 01.06.2021 | at work |
| 5 | name5 | test1 | 16.06.2021 |
table2 = directquery table
| ID | Name | Comment | Date | Status | Create by | Timestamp |
| 1 | name1 | test2 | name1 | 01.06.2021 17:36 | ||
| 3 | name3 | finish | name2 | 01.06.2021 17:45 | ||
| 5 | name5 | test2 | 20.06.2021 | name1 | 01.06.2021 17:50 |
in this table i have only the changes of some data
what i need in my visual:
| ID | Name | Comment | Date | Status | Create by | Timestamp |
| 1 | name1 | test2 | 01.01.2021 | finish | name1 | 01.06.2021 17:36 |
| 2 | name2 | 09.02.2021 | finish | |||
| 3 | name3 | 15.05.2021 | finish | name2 | 01.06.2021 17:45 | |
| 4 | name4 | test1 | 01.06.2021 | at work | ||
| 5 | name5 | test2 | 20.06.2021 | name3 | 01.06.2021 17:50 |
so the goal is to have some combination of those 2 tables, i need all the datas of the table1, but when in table2 is some update, i need the updatet datas inside.
i am not sure what is easyer, to make for every column a own measure where is something like
if table1[column1]=blank then table2[column1] else table1[column1]
so i need helf for this measure 🙂
or if its mabe better to create a own DAX-Table?
Thank you a lot
@RhoFox , One way is create an imported table in power query using append.
Another is to have common dimensions name, status and date and use that to analyze data together
hi @amitchandak
Thank you for your response 🙂
the problem is that i need the datas from the table2 live, thats why I can't import them.
I don't know what you mean with the second suggestion, can you explain it to me?
