Use SUMMARIZECOLUMNS on table union in DAX query












0














I am trying to write a DAX query that runs the SUMMARIZECOLUMNS function on a table variable. The table variable is the union of two tables that have the same columns in the same order.



When I try to run the query, I get a Cannot find table error. Here is the query I am trying to run:



EVALUATE
VAR u = UNION(Table1, Table2)
RETURN SUMMARIZECOLUMNS(u[CreationYear], u)


How can I run this query on the union of the two tables?

          It's not very elegant, but in response to your comment on Marco's solution, you can do a count like this:



          EVALUATE 
          VAR u = UNION(Table1, Table1)
          RETURN SUMMARIZE(u, [CreationYear],
          "Count",
          COUNTX(
          FILTER(u,
          [CreationYear] = EARLIER([CreationYear])
          ),
          [Id]
          )
          )

            Try using SUMMARIZE in stead of SUMMARIZECOLUMNS. Like this:



            EVALUATE
            VAR u = UNION ( Table1, Table2 ) RETURN SUMMARIZE ( u, [CreationYear] )

            • Thanks, this does work. However, I am also trying to add a new column where I count the number of rows for each year, like SUMMARIZE(u, [CreationYear], "Count", COUNT([Id])). This gives an error about not being able to identify the table that contains the Id column.
