new query from table

[henrique0galli]

How can I create a new query based on a generated table (based on other tables I had imported from Excel files).

[henrique0galli · Accepted solution]

Would LOOKUPVALUE be the best function for this scenario?

Thanks again

**** SOLUTION UPDATE ****

It was not able to create New Query based on the generated New Table. So managed to solve with this function:

ColumNew = LOOKUPVALUE(tbl_Averages_as_tabular[Usage Forecasted],tbl_Averages_as_tabular[Works Type],tbl_Future_Allocations_Plannned[Works Type],tbl_Averages_as_tabular[Item],tbl_Future_Allocations_Plannned[Item])

Hi @henrique0galli

The table you highlight could be a table generated in Power BI Desktop as a calculated table.

[henrique0galli]

Hi @Phil_Seamark, correct.

However, if I need to create queries using this generated table, would that be possible?

This generated table was done as: New Table = GENERATE('Table01','Table02')

[Phil_Seamark]

Hi @henrique0galli

Do you mean new queries to your source system?  Do you want to somehow use the rows in this table to generate a loop of queries?  Or something else?

[henrique0galli]

Hi @Phil_Seamark,

so I want to be able to Merge queries As New (based on the queries I already have), but also being able to merge this new table generated.

How can I manipulate this generated table into the existing queries and merging them?

[Phil_Seamark]

oh, you can't "merge as new" as this table has been generated downstream of Power Query.

But you can create new DAX calculated tables using the GENERATE function with filters.

Hi @Phil_Seamark,

how could I use the function with filters?

I now know how to create new tables using GENERATE, however how should I agregate the filters in the function?

Rgs,

Hi again @Phil_Seamark,

so just to be more specific, this is what I want to do:

I have these two tables:

tbl_Future_Allocations_Plannned: this one was created from GENERATE function as you showed me previously.

tbl_Averages_as_tabular: this one comes from a query.

I want to have within table tbl_Future_Allocations_Plannned another column (let's say for example called `Demand`).

To me more specific, consider as an example:

item 4045/16 appears twice on table tbl_Averages_as_tabular. However, the number that should bring on Demand column created in table tbl_Future_Allocations_Plannned should bring the result from BtoC line (column Work Type), because the store name MORAYFIELD has it's Work Type called `BtoC` on table tbl_Future_Allocations_Plannned. 

The result in this line on the recent Demand column created should be -2, correct? (it's a coincidence that all the values are -2 in this case, but that can varry.

Please let me know if you could help me.

Screen shot below for better understanding.

[Phil_Seamark]

Hi @henrique0galli

There are probably more efficient ways to do this that LOOKUPVALUE.  Can you cut and paste some sample data from these two tables into something I can replicate here and send you?

Hi @henrique0galli

This would be more efficient as a calculated column and I have attached a PBIX file to demonstrate

New Column = 
    MINX(
        FILTER(
            'tbl_Averages_as_tabular',
            'tbl_Averages_as_tabular'[Item] = EARLIER('tbl_Future_Allocations_Plannned'[Item]) &&
            'tbl_Averages_as_tabular'[Works Type] = "Btoc"
            ),
            [Usage Forecasted])

Awesome, thank you very much for the help!
