RELATED doesn't works in SELECTEDCOLUMNS

Helllo Community,

 

I try to create a new table with SELECTEDCOLUMN formula.

I need to pull data from a related table with one to many relation.

I use RELATED() and the formula should work, but it doesn't.

 

Anyone have a suggestion what's a hidden block here?

Here is the connection. It's definitely ok.

P.S. What I've found is that a reason might be in a connection between 2 tables from different datasets. (I'm testing functionality)

When it inside the same dataset, there are no flaws.

It might be because of the Limited relationships : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/transform-model/desktop-relationships-understand#limited-r...

Hi @olegkazanskyi 

 

Try the below rather than RELATED in your code:

LOOKUPVALUE(Company[Name],Company[company],sales[Company])
 

Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution!

Yes, It works.

Thank you!

 

Any ideas why RELATED failed? Is it because of DirectQuery connection?

It shouldn't be as connection between tables are available and work.
