Hi,
I need to add a new conditional column in my database, but this condition is related to a column that is in another table.
If the data in my column is not in the column in the other table, I need to bring me "1" else "0". But I can't create this condition.
For example:
Table 1
Table 2
If the value of my column "Group" is in the column "Code", return true (1) if not false (0).
How can I do this?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi, @Anonymous , you may try it this way,
= Table.AddColumn(#"Previous Step", each if List.Contains(#"Table 2"[Code], _) then 1 else 0)

DAX is simple, but NOT EASY! |

@Anonymous If the tables are related, you can use RELATED or RELATEDTABLE. Otherwise you can use LOOKUPVALUE or MAXX(FILTER(...),...)
