IF statement with column from another table

Hello guys,

 

I have two tables:

 

Table "Frachten"

Date / AK_C_P

1.1 / 1

2.1 / 2

3.1 / 3

 

Table "Global"

GWAblaufPges

2

 

So this first table contains of two columns with multiple rows and the second table of multiple columns but with only one row with a value.

 

I now want to create a custom column in my table "Frachten" to check if [AK_C_P] is bigger than [GWAblaufPges] and take over this value, when its not bigger, the column should have the value null

 

I tried out this IF statemant but it doesn't work:

 

IF [AK_C_P] > Table.SelectColumns(Global, GWAblaufPges) then [AK_C_P] else null

 

Can anyone help me to create a working statement?

could you please convert Second table inproper format i.e Unpivot then try your if statement 

So you mean to unpivot the table "Global"?

 

Now the structure is like this:

 

Attribute            /  Value

GWAblaufPges /   2

 

But the if statement still doesn't work
