Need Help - Referencing columns in a different table using Direct Query.

Hi,

 

I have two tables, a student table and a family table. 

 

The student table is as follows, where Student ID is the primary Key.

 

Student IDFamilyID
1F001
2F002
3F003
4F004
5F001

 

The Family table is as follows, where many family members may belong to the same family ID..

 

FamilyIDMemberPhone
F001Dad016-456-89876
F001Mom 
F001Uncle676-876-98543
F002Dad 
F002Mom412-562-88765
F003Dad416-542-86758
F004Dad416-592-86988

 

 

I need to find the list of pupils for whom any of the family member's phone no is missing. I'm using a direct query which makes creating Calculated columns and using calculate function difficult. 

 

I need a final output of something similar to 

 

Student IDcolumn
11
21
30
40
51

 

Can anyone help me with this?

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Do your table have any relationship between them?  If there is any relationship depeding on the type you may just need to use the columns and the filter pane.

 

Not having a realtionship try to create the following measure:

 

 

BlankContacts =
CALCULATE (
    COUNT ( Family[FamilyID] ),
    FILTER (
        ALL ( Family ),
        Family[FamilyID] = SELECTEDVALUE ( Students[FamilyID] )
            && Family[Phone] = BLANK ()
    )
) + 0

 

 

Now if you create a table visual and add the ID and the measure you get the following result:
