Good day,
I would like to ask if Power BI can capture the individual IDs in an entry with a dynamic count of ID values in an entry:
Operator | Shift |
1 | 1 |
1,2 | 2 |
1,3,5 | 1 |
2 | 2 |
5,4,6,7,8 | 1 |
3,1,4,2 | 2 |
The operator table has a varying number of values inside a cell that need to be individually checked and captured. This is because each number represents a specific name. For example,
OperatorID | OperatorFirstName | OperatorLastName |
1 | Reggie | Andrews |
2 | Donald | Banks |
3 | John | Ignatius |
4 | Peter | Jenkins |
5 | Andrew | Ports |
6 | David | Snow |
7 | Michael | Anders |
8 | Matthew | Lewis |
The end goal is to capture the operator names and number of operators on a given shift.
Thank you,
Nico
I tried splitting the values, but being in DirectQuery mode, I was unable to do so. What we did instead was we separated the Operators into multiple tables. Here is the schema of the tables:
The mainID of the Main table has active one-to-one connections with the different Operator[x] tables. As such, I cannot create active many-to-one connections from the different Operator[x] tables using the OperatorID to the Operator table. Currently, the relationships are set to inactive, and I am supposed to filter out the name of the specifically selected operator.
Is there a way by DAX for me to filter the said table as I am using Directquery?
Thanks,
Nico
Hi @nidquival ,
Not clear about the expected result you want. Can you provide the expected result?

@nidquival , One option it split the first column of the first table into rows in power query

@amitchandak, can this be done automatically using power query? The values will be coming from a database so the transactions will be constantly appended.
