New Table - include rows from an unrelated table

Hi all

 

In MS Access, you can create a query that allows data to be pulled from unrelated tablesAccess Query.png

This returns a dataset that pulls all from the System Calendar table.  In this case it pulls every YYYYMM (202101, 202102, 202103 etc).  This increases the dataset size as it duplicates the other fields but it applies the YYYYMM to each row in the dateset.

 

Is this possible to acheive in Power BI?

 

Thanks

KC

@roasty1980 , You can use values of the independent table using treatas

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/treatas-function

 

or

calculate(sum(Table[value]), filter(Table, Table[Column] in values(Table2[Column] )))
