Using the RELATED function

The RELATED function leverages the relationships built in the model Diagram view. In this model, there is a one to many relationship between the LIGHT_T table and the CRASH_DATA_T table. The RELATED function is applied on the many table (CRASH_DATA_T) and performs a lookup on the one table (LIGHT_T).

This recipe uses the RELATED function to create a new calculated column. This column will add the label from the LIGHT_T table to the CRASH_DATA_T table. This can be helpful when you have a frequently used column and your users do not need to select from the associated table each time they access the data. The RELATED function has a required syntax of RELATED(<column>).
