New table based on other tables SUMMARIZE? SUMMARIZECOLUMNS?

Hi all, I was trying to figure out how to create a new table (not in the visualization report) based on other 3 linked tables using SUMMARIZE or SUMMARIZECOLUMNS but I'm honest but got confused.

These three tables are:

1. Table "TotalWO": with a big list of registers related to Maintenance Work Orders (WO) released in our company during the past years, with their Status of execution and the Department in charge (mechanic, electrical or I&C),

2. Table "WO_2022": with the Work Orders released during this year and the week in which those WOs were executed, and

3. Table "Calendar": with columns associated with weeks and months.

In this figure I summarize these databases:

Figure 1Figure 1

The relation between them is a kind of obvious:

 

Figure 2Figure 2

And the expected output is as follows and in the same order of the columns, I mean that the first two columns should be the month and the week (from table "Calendar"), then the column "Department" (from table "TotalWO"), and so on.

 

Figure 3Figure 3

I know that in the visualization report I can use the "Table" visualization to get this however I need this new table (called for instance "Final Table"), in order to use it later in a Power Automate flow.

 

Hope I was clear and many thanks in advance.

@JoaoMS create new table using following DAX expression:

 

New Table = 
SUMMARIZE (
    WO_2022, 
    'Calendar'[Month],
    'Calendar'[Weel],
    Total_WO[Department],
    WO_2022[WO],
    Total_WO[Status]
)

 

You can change the order of the columns the way you want.

Correct, it's just like the "WO_2022" table is being added with new columns but in a new table. Actually the the three tables have other columns that I'm not interested and that is why we need a new table relating just these columns, and in the order commented. thanks

@JoaoMS can you confirm the following relationship:

 

calendar -> wo_2022 = 1 to many, 1 on the calendar side and many on wo_2022 side

Total_wo -> wo_2022 = 1 to 1 

 

is this correct understanding?

Hi @parry2k , you are right:

1. calendar -> wo_2022 = 1 to many. "Calendar" table has just 52 rows (52 weeks), but in the WO_2022 table we can find many "Work Orders" executed within the same week.

2. Total_wo -> wo_2022 = 1 to 1 . Correct, there is no duplicate.

Thanks for the quick reply
