Dear all,
need Your help on tracking baselines in Projects.
I apologize in advance for the format or mistakes as I'm a total newbie to this "measures" and "tables" world.
1) I want to get into the BPI view and show to BUs if there is any baseline on their Projects at all.
And I used the formula found on some PBI-Project template to add a column with logical test, based on Baseline Finish date (if there is no baseline set, than there is no value in this field or any other baselines field).
Baseline status = IF(ISBLANK(RELATED(ProjectBaselines[Project Baseline Finish Date]))=TRUE();"No";"Yes")
And I "almost" get what I want:
However, I've noticed, that it only gets values for "Baseline 0" and PMs not always set the Baseline 0 as first/initial. So in query editor I found, that there is a filter step, that filters all the rest of the baseline numbers, like 1,2, etc.
#"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(ProjectBaselines_table, each ([BaselineNumber] = 0))
If I remove the filter, I get an error: Column 'Project Id' in Table 'ProjectBaselines' contains a duplicate value '9805f398-2889-ea11-b0a8-00155d54a003' and this is not allowed for columns on the one side of a many-to-one relationship or for columns that are used as the primary key of a table.
The one and only active relationship between the tables is this:
If I select any other relationship with *:1 or *:*, then I don't get that relationship error, but I get an error on my logical test formula for "Baseline status":
"The column 'ProjectBaselines[Project Baseline Finish Date]' either doesn't exist or doesn't have a relationship to any table available in the current context. "
Can You point me, please, where and what has to be corrected, to get my "baseline checker" working on all possible baselines not only "0"?
2) When I have the 1) resolved, I would like to calculate Project KPIs based on the "latest"(sometimes, it can be not the highest number) Baseline and Actual numbers: Finish date, work, duration. I would assume, either I would need a date-time when was the latest baseline set. If it is possible at all to get that from Project Online Odata feed? Or at least find/compare the baselines, that have "latest" finish date. I tried to "Google" this out, but did not found anything at the level of my understanding 🙄.
Thank You in advance for any clues to these!

HI @Anonymous,
It seems like you are working with two tables that not contain unique field values.
In my opinion, I'd like to suggest creating a calculated table with dax formulas to extract values from two tables and remove duplicate rows.
Bridge =
DISTINCT (
UNION ( ALL ( ProjectBaselines[Project Id] ), ALL ( Projects[Project Id] ) )
)
After these steps, you can use this 'bridge' table to link two tables and use bridge table key and raw table fields with 'aggregate' function/methods(e.g. max, min...) to get specific values.
