What is the correct syntax for using the RELATED() function within an IF condition in Power BI?
I need to use the RELATED() function within an IF condition in Power BI but am unsure about the correct syntax. Can you provide an example of how to structure this and explain its practical use cases?

The correct syntax for using the RELATED() function within an IF condition in Power BI is:

NewColumn = IF(RELATED(Table[Column]) = "Value", "TrueResult", "FalseResult")

Example:

If you want to create a new column that checks if a related Category column equals "High" and returns "Priority" or "Normal" based on that:

PriorityFlag = IF(RELATED(Products[Category]) = "High", "Priority", "Normal")

Use Cases:

  • Conditional Labeling: Apply different labels or categories based on related data from another table.
  • Dynamic Calculations: Modify calculations or metrics depending on values in related tables (e.g., adjusting pricing or discounts based on product category).

This syntax allows you to conditionally modify data in a new column based on related values from another table, enabling dynamic categorization and calculations.

IF(RELATED(TableName[ColumnName]) = "Condition", "TrueResult", "FalseResult")

It checks related data and returns a result based on the condition.
