I have this relationship in my tables. I am having a hard time making a new custom column where I want to calculate two values from two different columns from two different tables but I am unable to do it. I even tried used RELATED and and either I get a List type or errors and I am unable to get it work.
How can I make a custom table where I pick columns from different tables as one table or how I use columns from table for my new custom column?
Thanks in advance.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous ,
Not sure if I get what you are after, "making a new custom column where I want to calculate two values from two different columns from two different tables", but if it is something like Table1[Value1] * Table2[Value2] then I have had good luck with LOOKUPVALUE(). So you would do two lookups, and the tables don't need to be related.
If this solves your issues, please mark it as the solution, so that others can find it easily. Kudos are nice too.
