Power Query Reference another table and get MIN value
- 2 years ago
Hi Dexter1088, if you have that many rows do not use Power Query for this purpose.
1.) Create relationship between tables
2.) Create a calculated column
Lowest Count = VAR _currentID = [ID] VAR _test1 = CALCULATE( MIN(Table2[COUNT]), Table2[ID] = _currentID ) RETURN _test1 - Anonymous2 years ago
Hi Dexter1088 ,
As Super User Dufoq3 said, using power query to manipulate millions of rows of data can be really slow. If you just want to display the data there is an easier way, as Super User Dufoq3 shows, to create the relationship and then use Table visualization to combine the ID column from Table 1 with the Value column from Table 2 and aggregate the Value columns, so that you don't need to perform the Calculation

Merge the tables on ID, then instead of expanding the tables, choose Aggregate-Max.

This seems to work better, but for the First Variable
_currentID
It will only Let me use measures or exact text here. How could I link this to 'Table1'[ID]? Thanks!

You have to put my code into CALCULATED COLUMN, not in a new measure.
