Populating Column data in order table form different columns combination mix in Freight table

Good Morning all,

 

Hope someone can help me here, I am new to power BI and working on to calculate Transport Lead Time for Dashboard.

I have two table to work with

  • Freight Table

City

State

Shippoint

TDAYS (working days)

WINNELLIE

NT

General Warehouse

12

TOWNSVILLE

QLD

General Warehouse

10

POORAKA

SA

General Warehouse

7

Keysborough

VIC

General Warehouse

8

WINNELLIE

NT

Cold Chain

2

Adelaide

SA

Cold Chain

8

TOWNSVILLE

QLD

Cold Chain

4

POORAKA

SA

Cold Chain

4

WINNELLIE

NT

Cage/ Vault

3

TOWNSVILLE

QLD

Cage/ Vault

2

POORAKA

SA

Cage/ Vault

5

 

  • Order Table

Delivery

CITY

State

Shipping point

TDAYS ( Expected Result)

80256260

WINNELLIE

NT

General Warehouse

12

80256391

TOWNSVILLE

QLD

General Warehouse

80256392

POORAKA

80256403

Adelaide

SA

Cold Chain

80256405

WINNELLIE

Cold Chain

2

80256423

TOWNSVILLE

QLD

Cold Chain

4

80256424

POORAKA

SA

Cage/ Vault

4

80256425

WINNELLIE

NT

Cage/ Vault

3

80256426

TOWNSVILLE

QLD

Cage/ Vault

2

802563256

POORAKA

WA

Cold Chain

30 ( No Match )

 

 

Both tables have common fields to link but they can be in different combination to calculate result.

Example:

SA state has two Cities ( Pooraka & Adelaide ) and orders can be shipped from 3 shipping points ( General Warehouse, Cold Chain & Cage/ Vault ), so there will be possible 6 combinations. 

In that case Expected TDAYS in Order table should show like below

 

Delivery

CITY

State

Shipping point

TDAYS ( Expected Result)

80256392

POORAKA

SA

General Warehouse

7

80256403

Adelaide

SA

Cold Chain

8

80256424

POORAKA

SA

Cage/ Vault

4

 

If None of these combinations matching then TDAYS should show “30” days

 

Any help is great

Thanks

    Hi,

    I am not sure if I understood your question correctly, but please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

    It is for creating a new column.

     

     

     

     

    Expected result CC =
VAR _result =
    SUMMARIZE (
        FILTER (
            Freight,
            Freight[City] = 'Order'[CITY]
                && Freight[State] = 'Order'[State]
                && Freight[Shippoint] = 'Order'[Shipping point]
        ),
        Freight[TDAYS (working days)]
    )
RETURN
    IF ( ISBLANK ( _result ), 30, _result )

        Hi,

        I am not sure, but I think you are using different structure than the sample that you provided.

        I think the sample showed only one expected result, however, yours shows more than one result as if you want to show more than one result.

        The DAX formular that I wrote is meant to show table format result, but if it only contains one row &  one column, it also shows non-table format as well.

        I am not sure what is your expected result if it shows more than one result. If you want to show MAX, then please try using MAXX insteas of using SUMMARIZE. If you want to show MIN, then please try using MINX instead of using SUMMARIZE. Or, what is your expected result when it contains more than one result?
