I am trying to pull one value into a new table based on a column in another table with multiple values. The key is, I want to pull one distinct value based on a criteria. The values in the 2nd table are as:
Name | Value |
A | 1 |
A | 1 |
A | 2 |
B | 1 |
B | 1 |
B | 3 |
C | 1 |
C | 1 |
C | 4 |
D | 1 |
D | 1 |
D | 5 |
E | 1 |
E | 1 |
E | 4 |
Desired result is below as:
Pull the distinct value but:
If the value 2 is present, then pull 2
If the value 5 is present, then pull 5
If the value 1 is present, then pull 1
Name | Value |
A | 2 |
B | 1 |
C | 1 |
D | 5 |
E | 1 |
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @raragan
please try
Values =
VAR CurrentName = Table1[Nsme]
VAR T1 =
FILTER ( Table2, Table2[Nsme] = CurrentName )
VAR T2 =
DISTINCT ( SELECTCOLUMNS ( T1, "@Value", [Value] ) )
RETURN
SWITCH ( TRUE (), 2 IN T2, 2, 5 IN T2, 5, 1 IN T2, 1 )
