Data comparison on two tables in direct query

[Anonymous]

Hi Gurus,

     I have  "created_date" in table A , "updated_date" in table B , data has been pulled through Direct query. Now i need to compare both the date fields from different tables as mentioned below.

  if( created_date > updated_date)

 then (created_date ) 

 else (updated_date).

1) Is it possible to achieve this scenario with direct queries

2) Basically am trying to find the maximum date by comparing these two dates. Any suggestion

Thanks,

Shamar

Hi @Anonymous,

By my tests, you could create the measure to compare the two date from different tables in Direct Query.

Hi @Anonymous,

Try this measure.

Measure =
IF (
    MAX ( 'Table_3'[create date] ) > MAX ( 'Table_4'[update date] ),
    MAX ( 'Table_3'[create date] ),
    MAX ( 'Table_4'[update date] )
)
