Merge Visuals Containing Different Currencies
Hi,
I have 2 different visuals using different tables as shown.
I want to merge them into one but my problem is their currencies are different so when the user moved from one account to another it must show the right currency.
Thanks...tksnota

This is why dimension tables are essential. Directly linking two fact tables isn't ideal because they often have different columns or column values. Instead, create a table that combines the currencies from both tables, then establish one-to-many relationships between this new table and the fact tables.
Sample Calculated table
CurrencyTable = -- Step 1: Create a table containing only the 'Currency' column from Table1 VAR Tbl1 = SELECTCOLUMNS ( Table1, -- Source table "Currency", -- Column name in the result Table1[Currency] -- Column to extract ) -- Step 2: Create a table containing only the 'Currency' column from Table2 VAR Tbl2 = SELECTCOLUMNS ( Table2, -- Source table "Currency", -- Column name in the result Table2[Currency] -- Column to extract ) -- Step 3: Combine Tbl1 and Tbl2, remove duplicates, and return the result RETURN DISTINCT ( UNION ( Tbl1, -- First table Tbl2 -- Second table ) )
