Is it possible to include columns from 2 different tables in DAX Switch Function ?
Both of my tables are linked by Many to Many Relationship.
I am trying to create a calculated column in Table A where I want to compare Columns from Table B, but I can't add the Table B column in the DAX Switch formula.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,

Sample
Table B
Table A & Expected Result
In my opinion, it doesn't matter whether this table has many relationship, the only thing matter is that you are calculated based on your original table instead of calculate on a new measure, then result is unpredictable:
By create new table from the original table, and add column for the comment, I can provide result as your expectation, hope it solve your problem and accept the answer :)
Create new table from original table (Sheet1 is my old table) and select on ID column
Table = SELECTCOLUMNS(Sheet1,"ID",Sheet1[ID])
Create new column for comment
Column = SWITCH(LOOKUPVALUE('Sheet1'[Value],Sheet1[ID],'Table'[ID]), 0,"Matched with A","Matched with B")
The outcome for the new table:
Instead of trying to use two columns from two different tables for comparison in DAX, you can use the 'RELATED` DAX function to import a column from Table A to Table B or vice-versa. Then you can use this column for comparison in DAX.
Just set the appropriate relationship between Table A and Table B and create a new column with the RELATED DAX function to import the table that you want to use in the SWITCH function.

My dimension tables contains more rows than my fact table, I would like my dim table fields to show only the values in the fact table when used as a filter in the filter panel.What cleaning/modeling steps are the best to achieve this.
I also know how to write sql if that is an option for an answer.
Rather than use a table for your dimension, use a view that has an inner join to the fact table
I want to create a second table from the first table using filters with dates and other variables as follows. How can I create this?
Following is the expected table and original table,
Go to Edit Queries. Lets say our base table is named RawData. Add a blank query and use this expression to copy your RawData table:
=RawData
The new table will be RawDataGrouped. Now select the new table and go to Home > Group By and use the following settings:
The result will be the following table. Note that I didnt use the exactly values you used to keep this sample at a miminum effort:
You also can now create a relationship between this two tables (by the Index column) to use cross filtering between them.
You could show the grouped data and use the relationship to display the RawDate in a subreport (or custom tooltip) for example.
I assume you are looking for a calculated table. Below is the workaround for the same,
In Query Editor you can create a duplicate table of the existing (Original) table and select the Date Filter -> Is Earliest option by clicking right corner of the Date column in new duplicate table. Now your table should contain only the rows which are having minimum date for the column.
Note: This table is dynamic and will give subsequent results based on data changes in the original table, but you to have refresh both the table.
Original Table:
Desired Table:
When I have added new column into it, post to refreshing dataset I have got below result (This implies, it is doing recalculation based on each data change in the original source)
New data entry:

I want to move(denormalize)two tables into another tabe,how can I do it?
have two tables like:- 'sales by category','product by category',
I want to move these two tables into another table which is 'products'.
i tried Related function with calucated column and it won't work bcoz those tables sharing one-one relationship
plz solve my issue who are familiar with data modelling and dax in power bi
The best way is to use the merge function in power query, follow the tutorial on the below link it'll explain it better, this will allow you to join the tables you need into query, in turn creating a table in Power BI

In Power BI, I am creating a report with some finance data of a company. I have 3 different tables. The table structure of all three tables are as follows:
I want to change these tables into this structure:
Is it possible to achieve this kind of structure? If yes and please suggest some method to do this?
To do it simply you can import 3 times your table using the query editor, and then in one table keep only columns for Planned, in the second table keep columns for Actual, and so on...
Hope that helps!
Today is my first day to use PowerBI 2.0 Desktop.
Is there any way to add new columns from external data into the existing table in my PowerBI?
Or is there anyway to add new columns from another table in PowerBI?
It seems that, in PowerQuery, all the tabs Add Custom Column, Add Index Column and Duplicate Column are all using the existing columns in the same table.....
You can use Merge Queries to join together two queries, which will let you bring in the other table's columns.
Also, Add Custom Column accepts an arbitrary expression, so you can reference other tables in that expression. For example, if Table1 and Table2 had the same number of rows, I could copy over Table2's column by doing the following:
Add an Index Column. Let's call it Index.
Add a Custom Column with the following expression: Table2[ColumnName]{[Index]}
