Multiple Conditions from Different Tables

Hello guys, 

 

I need to create a measure/column that is pulling items from three different tables: I need to calculate applications ID (from table 1) when the program is Computer (from table 2) or when activity is either 1,2, or 3 (from table 3). 

 

 I currently have this: 

 

Dax=calculate(distinct(count(application_ID), Program="1" || (activity=1 || activity=2 || activity=3))

 

But because I am creating a measure, I can't pull columns from other tables, as they are not coming when I type the column names. 

Please help.

Thanks, 

Sona

HI @Anonymous,

Did any update for these? If you want to calculate based on multiple table fields, it should be better to share the table structure and relationship mapping.

For example: these tables are linked based on application_ID fields.

measure =
VAR t2List =
    CALCULATETABLE (
        VALUES ( Table2[application_ID] ),
        FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( Table2 ), Table2[activity] IN { 1, 2 } )
    )
VAR t3List =
    CALCULATETABLE (
        VALUES ( Table3[application_ID] ),
        FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( Table3 ), Table3[activity] = 3 )
    )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        COUNTROWS ( VALUES ( Table1[application_ID] ) ),
        FILTER (
            ALLSELECTED ( Table1 ),
            Table1[Program] = "1"
                || Table1[application_ID] IN UNION ( t2List, t3List )
        )
    )
