Using Data from One Table in Another Table

hi everyone,

 

I'm new on Power BI, and i have a pb on Power BI Desktop.

 

I have two tables and i want to link them. and I want a link from table_1 to table_2 and from table_2 to table_1

I need this link because i want to take cells of table_2 to put it in table_1 (like a vlookup in excel)

 

But there is not the same count of rows in the two tables. 

 

for example i want create the red columnpower help 2.PNG

Thanks for your help. 🙂

Time in Table1 =
VAR myresult =
    CALCULATE (
        FIRSTNONBLANK ( Table2[time], 1 ),
        FILTER ( Table2, Table2[id] = Table1[id] )
    )
RETURN
    IF ( ISBLANK ( myresult ), 0, myresult )

In table 2 you've got multiple rows for id, albeit with the same time - if it's always going to be the same time, just remove the duplicates in table 2 and you can then relate the two tables, if not, how is Power BI going to know which row to look up?

hi

thanks for your answer.

i need to keep all rows in table_2 because there are also different data in other columns

If there is a posibility to take the first value each time it will be the good thing for me. but i dont know if it is possible.
