Combining tables

[paris]

Hi All,

I have price table (daily), forex table (monthly), calender table (daily and monthly) and want to create new table (daily and calculations).

My original data's date is in text format and wrong order (can not change as it is not my data) so I added amend daily and amenda month to clean up.

I tried crossjunction function to combine them but for some reason, all date mix up.

Please help!!!!

In price table create these columns

Amend Month = date(year([Amend Daily]),month([Amend Daily]),1)
Exchange = minx(filter(Forex,Froex[Amend Month]=Price[Amend Month]),Forex[AUD/USD])

Sales/USD = Price[Sales/AUD]*Price[Exchange]
Sales + 15 Percent margin = Price[Sales/USD]*1.15

Hi Amitchandak,

Thank you very much for your help. I have never used minx & filter - they are such a powerful functions. Thank you again.

All the best,

It is tough to say exactly without sample text data. Please see this post regarding How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/ba-p/38490

However, it seems like what you want is Merge Query in the Query Editor. This would be much more efficient than trying CROSSJOIN function in DAX. Although it is possible that you might have wanted to use NATURALINNERJOIN DAX function instead of CROSSJOIN.
