Concatenate data into new column using heirarchies

Hi,

 

I am trying to create a new column which concatenates data from two different columns. These columns are in different tables and are linked to each other by relationships within Power BI.

 

I want to concatenate Customer ID and Department. Customer ID is in the same table as product. Products are categorized by product class and each product class is a member of a department.

Many thanks,

 

Greg

As stated above, you'd need a calculated column.  In my own data with a similar setup (pulling the "one" side to a "many" side of a relationship two tables away), I was able to do this using a single formula that looks like this:

 

IDDepartment = CONCATENATE(Invoices[Customer ID], RELATED('Product Class'[Department]))

Fantastic! Excellent solution, I really appreciate the help.

 

Massive thanks!

@GCGradwell i think you need to make use of dax calculated columns. so first make use of lookupvalue function to create a calculated column in product details table that contains department name. then use related() function of dax to create calculated column in Invoices table that contains department name. then simply use concatenate() function for customer id and department in invoices table.
