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 )
)
)
