Comparing two colums

Hi together,

I think the solution is simple but I don't finde a fitting solution for me. So my question is there any DAX Query which shows me If in Column A and Column B is any value. It dosen't matter if the values matching - my only wish is to show there are values in Column A and in Column B. The Columns are also in two different Tables. For the result insted of "0" and "1" is also yes/no ok or whatever :).

Thank you.

Best,

Kathrin

Hi Daniel,

Sorry the real data I can't share. That's the reason why I postet the picture above 🙂 is this not informative enough? I can send you this excel but I think it would be easy to copy it directly into Power BI?

May be I explain it not datailed enough:

1) I have two columns (Column A, Colum B) which are not completly filled with data

2) I try to find out if there is a value in Column A and B (which value dosen't matter) in the same line

3) If this is the case than I would like to have a calculated column with the value "1" for yes there is a value and a "0" for there is not.

Hi @KBO ,

You may refer to below formula:

Result = IF(OR(ISBLANK([Column1]),ISBLANK([Column2]))=TRUE(),0,1)

Result:
