Using RELATEDTABLE to return the first, second... value that meets a condition in a 1:Many relation

[danielmbaquero]

Good day people,

I have two tables, one called "Times" and the other called "Operations". Both tables have an operation ID. The "Times" table contains data about the status of the operation and the time that the status begin for all of the possible statues. I would like to add a new column to the "Operations" table with the time an specific status began. Also, an operation can start the same status many times. I would like to have a column for the first time, one column for the second time...

"Times" table looks like this:

ID	New Status	Time
1	A	18/2/2019 14:21:36
1	B	18/2/2019 18:30:00
1	A	19/2/2019 7:30:00
2	A	18/2/2019 9:30:00
2	B	18/2/2019 11:20:00
3	A	19/2/2019 7:30:00
3	B	19/2/2019 9:30:00
3	C	19/2/2019 11:30:00
3	D	19/2/2019 14:30:00

The "Operations" table just have the operation id.

I want to add columns so it looks like this:

ID	Time first A	Time second A	Time first B	Time first C	Time first D
1	18/2/2019 14:21:36	19/2/2019 7:30:00	18/2/2019 18:30:00
2	18/2/2019 9:30:00		18/2/2019 11:20:00
3	19/2/2019 7:30:00		19/2/2019 9:30:00	19/2/2019 11:30:00	19/2/2019 14:30:00

I have been traying to use the SELECTCOLUMS and RELATEDTABLE functions but I have not figure out how both works.

Thanks for your help!

Hi @danielmbaquero ,

You should do it using Power Query.

Can you paste both tables here ? Also the structure should be little bit different, like a column to order the status number (if repeated).

So you can achieve the visual using matrix.

@danielmbaquero it is pretty straight forward except, do you want second time only for "A" or others as well?

[danielmbaquero]

@parry2k  I want the second for others as well. And there can be a third, fourth... for all statues

@camargos88  answer about the structure can  be right. Maybe the structure should looks like this:

ID	Status	Re-process	Time
1	A	First time	.....
1	A	Second time	.....
1	B	First time	.....
2	A	First time	.....
2	B	First time	.....

@danielmbaquero with simple DAX I already got this
