Hi All,

I have two tables, Project table and User table. I have to fetch the name of the project manager using DAX exp.

Below is the table structure:

Project table

Project_ID    Name           Manager_Id       

1                  Aladeen       10

2                  Pointy           2

User table

User_ID       Name 

1                 Boss

2                 Baby

10               Musk

Now, I have to create to measure/column in the Project table with DAX which gives me the names of users from the second table.

P.S. Both the tables are in direct query mode.

Desired output-

Project table

Project_ID    Name           Manager_Id       Project_Manager

1                  Aladeen       10                     Musk

2                  Pointy           2                      Baby

How can I achieve this in DAX? Any help is appreciated.

Create a relationship between the 2 tables (User_Id and Manager_Id)

Then you can just create a table visualization without any other step.

If for any reason you need to have the user in the project table, you can create a calculated column:
'Project table'[Project_Manager] = RELATED ( 'User table'[Name] )

@Anonymous , You can join manager id with user id  of use table and get the name

if already joined on another column, create one more inactive join and use userelationship to create a measure

Hi, @Anonymous 

Please check the below. It is for creating a new column.

Project_Manager CC =

LOOKUPVALUE(User[Name], User[User_ID],Project[Manager_ID])
