Transcoding column values from one table to another

Hello everyone, 

 

I have multiple tables in my model that contain binary values or codes that need to be translated to a corresponding label. For example, I have a client table, where the type can be 0 or 1, which means "Loyal" and "Other", or a country table where if the value is 1, it's France, if 2, it's England, 3 is Germany, etc. 

I have a table that I want to use to transcore these values that looks like this :

EntityCodeLabel
Client0Other
Client1Loyal
Country1France
Country2England
.........

 

My goal was to join the transcoding table to my other tables on the code, with the condition that the entity is the right name. In SQL, I would type :

select Label from transcode

where transcode.Code = Client.client_type

and transcode.Entity = "Client";

 

But I don't know how to achieve this in Power BI so that I can use labels instead of the codes in each table to build my report. 

 

Thank you all !

@Lausaurine , we will join these two tables on code and cliend type and create one measure and use that with label in table visual

 

calculate(COunt(transcode[Label]), filter(transcode, transcode[Entity] = "Client" ))
