📊 WHAT IS POWER BI?
Power BI is a business analytics tool by Microsoft. It creates a working environment suited for normal users, meaning tasks such as data extraction, cleansing, analysis and storytelling; these are made easily-accessible to citizen-users, and extendable for technical users. At face value it provides visually-stunning, interactive dashboards, but it’s built on top of so much more.

[@jalalkasmani2575]

thanks for the video. what if i want to bring text values using relatedtable in one relationship table ? sumx gives error.

[@AbdullaKhizamworld]

Dear
How about if one dataset is connected using the direct query and from that table one names wanted to bring it to another table!

[@erinfield1943]

What if you're using Direct Query? These don't work with direct query.

[@chinnamouli123]

Hi, for me the relatedtable is not working. When I added a column with a relatedtable function, I got the total sum of the expression in every row of that column.
I am not sure what the mistake is, I did everything you did. Could you recognise this kind of error and help me ?

[@SolutionsAbroad]

Hi there, perhaps its to do with the relationship you've set up? The column you create needs to be in the "Many" side of the relationship

[@tojonirinarandrianarivelo2100]

Are you from Madagascar ? ^^

[@SolutionsAbroad]

Hi there, I'm from the Philippines!

[@sarar941]

Why do you need related when you already have a join?? Just grab the customer name from the customer table

[@SolutionsAbroad]

To be honest I dont use RELATED function all that often because a join already creates the relationship between the two tables. I can only assume they imported this function as a replacement for VLOOKUP in excel and is another way to achieve the same result

[@scokim]

I think you use it when the table is 2 or more relationships away. e.g.. sales

[@rakishev]

In my opinion these functions are completely useless in Power BI. You don't really need to add these vlookup columns because they're already connected and you can use them in any kind of visuals.

*CALCULATED COLUMNS*
2:27- RELATED
4:19- RELATEDTABLE
5:40- SUMX(RELATEDTABLE)
*MEASURES*
6:30- SUM (if you don't need a column) (although this doesn't give row context until you put other fields in the table)
