Relationships
Hello,
I have an existing column that is an ID for my customers. I am trying to make it to where my customer ID can be interchangable with the actual name of my customer. I tried to make a relationship between the two in my query, but it didn't work. I simply want to replace my Customer ID with the actual name of my customer. Any help would be appreciated.... thanks
Hi Anonymous ,
I created some data:
Table1:
Table2:
Here are the steps you can follow：
You can add Index to both tables in power query.
This way you have a relationship between your two tables.
You can then create computed columns:
Column = CALCULATE(SUM('Table1'[ID]),FILTER(ALL(Table1),'Table1'[Index]='Table2'[Index]))Or create measure.
Measure = CALCULATE(MAX('Table2'[customer name]),FILTER(ALL(Table2),'Table2'[Index]=MAX('Table1'[Index])))Please click here for the pbix file
