Hi
I am failry new to Powerbi, and I would appreciate a little help please. I have a situation where I need to create a report that will show like for like sales per product of the last two years. In itself this is not a big issue, my issue is that products tend to be relaunched (same product) but under a new product id. So matching Like for sales by product id over a period will fail, due to a product name change. I need to create a lookup table but I am not sure how to do it and reference it . It Might also be that some product id s do not change (so no alias) would be needed, example
These two tables are linked by product id,
Data example
Sales 2022 Sales 2023
productid Product ID
10221 alias 8765
87986 alias 9897
In this simplified case, comparing the two products on a year-week basis will fail.
I would really appreciate any kind help you could offer please
Thank you
