Hi all,
I am new to power BI so apologise if this might be a stupid question
I have big table, let's call it master table, and I want to create multiple other tables that are dynamically feeding from that master table. I don't want the the master to change. To simplify it, I want to do the same thing like you would do in excel when you put =CELLNAME to another tab.
(Tab1 A1 is USA
Tab2 formula is ='tab1'A1)
Example:
Master Table
ID City Sales Nr. of Customers
1 City1 Sales1 Nr1
2 City2 Sales2 Nr2
3 City 3 Sales3 Nr3
4 City 4 Sales 4 NR4
new table
Nr. of Customers Sales
nr1. sales1
nr.2 sales2
Nr.3 Sales3
Nr.4 Sales4
I can create the new table manually but I can put calculated column that will take data from the master. There is no relation between them, it should be just "Copy Paste" column
Thanks

Hi @Krcmajster
You can create Calculated Tables from the Modelling Tab>>>New Table
Following functions can be useful for you. Check the documentation of these functions from links below and test them out for learning
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/data-analysis-expressions-dax-reference
https://dax.guide/
SELECTCOLUMNS
SUMMARIZE
SUMMARIZECOLUMNS
ALL
Examples
New Table = SELECTCOLUMNS ( TableName, "Sales", [Sales], "Nr. of Customers", [Nr. of Customers] )
New Table = ALL ( TableName[Sales], TableName[Nr. of Customers] )
etc
Hi @Krcmajster
There are many ways in Power BI to create a new table from one table.
One way is :
In Queries Editor, create a new blank query, then paste the code like following one in the Advanced Editor,
let Source =Sheet4, #"select Columns" = Table.SelectColumns(Source,{"Nr.of Customers", " Sales "}) in #"select Columns"
This way, you need to know how to use Power Query or M language,
Reference:
Another way is:
Create a calculated table with DAX,
this way, you could follow Zubair_Muhammad's suggestion, it is generous of him to provide many functions to achieve a new table.
Also, in this way, you could also get the calculated columns to the new table from master table.
Best Regards
Maggie
