Multiplying 2 tables based on a date
Thanks for helping me out on this. I'm one of the people making the transition from excel.
I'm trying to get the daily consumption of a facility by input types.
E.g each product we make is stored in a table with corresponsing dates
1/1/20 - 100
1/2/20 - 100
Input types
this data is standard for the month
a-50%
b-50%
I want to create a new table combining these 2 to get an output something like this,
1/1/20 a 50
1/1/20 b 50
1/2/20 a 50
1/2/20 b 50
Is there a way to do it?
lokeswer - OK, in DAX you would do a CROSSJOIN I believe, like this:
New Table = CROSSJOIN('Table','Table2')You could create your calculated column there or you could do it in the formula by adding ADDCOLUMNS.In Power Query, you do a cross join like this:lokeswer - OK, in DAX you would do a CROSSJOIN I believe, like this:

#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Date", type date}, {"Production", Int64.Type}, {"Usage", Int64.Type}}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each Table2),
#"Expanded Custom" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Added Custom", "Custom", {"Inputs", "BOM%"}, {"Custom.Inputs", "Custom.BOM%"})
in
#"Expanded Custom"

Probably. But, is that actually how your data looks? Exactly what does your data look like?

Also, are you trying to do this during import or are you trying to do this after import?

This is how the dataset look like.
I'm trying to do this during import - (obviously i cleaned up the usage data)
