Using IF function to reference a related table

Hello,

 

I am trying to create a DAX calculated column based on a column from a different table that has a relationship with the main table. I am experiencing some errors when trying to merge several tables with a SharePoint table. Is there a way to create a calculated column based on the relationship?

 

The two tables have relationship on ID and trying to create a calculated column on Table A based on a date column on Table B using IF function.

 

So is it possible to use IF function to reference a related table?

Left side is table1 and right side is table2. 

 

IDDate1  Calc Col  IDDate2
11/1/2022  IF(Date1==Date2, 1, 0)  11/1/2022
23/1/2022  IF(Date1==Date2, 1, 0)  23/1/2022
34/2/2022  IF(Date1==Date2, 1, 0)  34/2/2022

Hi,

if i understood your problem you can try this calculated column

Column = var CurrId = 'Table'[ID]
var result = if('Table'[Date1 ]= Related('Table (2)'[Date2]),1,0)
return
result

Hi @cferv_77

 

If you're having troubles with the relationships, you can disable it and try to apply manually using USERELATIONSHIP.

And then create a measure like this, you can also apply some conditional like you mentioned. 

 

Measure = 

CALCULATE(
    SUM(Table1[Value]),
    USERELATIONSHIP(Table1[Id],Table2[ID])
)

 

Hope it was helpful.

 

Regards,

Douglas.
