Hello, I’m trying to transfer values from one table to another table, which are structurally different.
The two demo tables are below
Transport Table
Shop Name | Shop ID | Product Name | Driver | Transport ID |
A | 11111 | Cheese | Bill | 22221 |
A | 11111 | Bread | Bob | 22222 |
A | 11111 | Bread | Bill | 22223 |
A | 11111 | Butter | Ben | 22224 |
B | 11112 | Cheese | Bob | 22225 |
B | 11112 | Cheese | Ben | 22226 |
B | 11112 | Bread | Ben | 22227 |
C | 11113 | Bread | Bill | 22228 |
D | 11114 | Cheese | Bill | 22229 |
D | 11114 | Butter | Bob | 22230 |
D | 11114 | Butter | Ben | 22231 |
D | 11114 | Butter | Bill | 22232 |
Header Table
Shop Name | Shop ID | Product Name | Bill | Bob | Ben |
A | 11111 | Cheese | Bill |
|
|
A | 11111 | Bread | Bill | Bob |
|
A | 11111 | Butter |
|
| Ben |
B | 11112 | Cheese |
| Bob |
|
B | 11112 | Bread |
|
| Ben |
C | 11113 | Bread | Bill |
|
|
D | 11114 | Cheese | Bill |
|
|
D | 11114 | Butter | Bill | Bob | Ben |
What I want, is to calculate the three columns called “Bill”, “Bob” and “Ben” on the header table as above. And then use them as slicers to filter other data in the header table.
I got part of the way by creating a concatenation of Shop ID, Product Name and Transport ID in the Transport Table and then using the below DAX in a column on the Header table
maxx(filter('Transport' , search('Header'[Shop_ID], 'Transport'[Concat],,0)>0),'Transport'[Concat])
But it doesn’t work in cases where there are more than one driver per product per shop.
Could you please advise how to do this?
Thanks a lot
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Tom_G , Three new columns in DAX in Header table
Bill=
maxx(filter(Transport, Header[Shop Name] =Transport[Shop Name] && header[Shop ID] = Transport[Shop ID]
&& header[Product Name] = Transport[Product Name] && Transport[Driver] ="Bill") , Transport[Driver])
Bob =
maxx(filter(Transport, Header[Shop Name] =Transport[Shop Name] && header[Shop ID] = Transport[Shop ID]
&& header[Product Name] = Transport[Product Name] && Transport[Driver] ="Bob") , Transport[Driver])
Ben =
maxx(filter(Transport, Header[Shop Name] =Transport[Shop Name] && header[Shop ID] = Transport[Shop ID]
&& header[Product Name] = Transport[Product Name] && Transport[Driver] ="Ben") , Transport[Driver])
