Table function to assign values to a list

Hi Gurus,

 

I need help to write a calculatetable function to extract unique values of a column and assign a set of values (Q1,Q2,Q3) to each.

 

Example:

 

Table 1:

 

Column1
Oracle

SAP

SAP

Microsoft
Microsoft

Microsoft

 

Result Table

 

Column1Quarter
OracleQ1
OracleQ2
OracleQ3
SAPQ1
SAPQ2
SAPQ3
MicrosoftQ1
MicrosoftQ2
MicrosoftQ3

Hi @Anonymous,

You need a combination of CROSSJOIN and DISTINCT, something like that:

In plain text:

Result = 
VAR Quarters = SELECTCOLUMNS ( { "Q1", "Q2", "Q3" }, "Quarter", [Value] )
RETURN 
    CROSSJOIN ( DISTINCT ( 'Table'[Column1] ), Quarters )

Best Regards,

Alexander
