Return Text when RELATED Function has not match in related table

Hi, 

 

When adding a column to a calculated table from another table using RELATED(),  I would like to return "Text" where there is no related ID in the second table. I can accomplish this through adding the related column and then adding a second column using ISBLANK(), but I wanted to be able to do this by only adding one column. *If this were a LOOKUP(), I could return the alternate text). 

 

Is there a way to combine or nest the following?

 

1) Next_Enroll_Outcome a = Related('4_Enrollment'[Enroll_Inst_Outcome])

 

2) Next_Enroll_Outcome = If(ISBLANK('2_Enrollment'[Next_Enroll_Outcome a]),"3_StopOut",'2_Enrollment'[Next_Enroll_Outcome a])

 

Thank you.

I think this is what you are looking for.

Next_Enroll_Outcome = COALESCE ( Related('4_Enrollment'[Enroll_Inst_Outcome]), "3_StopOut" )
