CALCULATED COLUMN on not direct related table

Hi all!

 

Let's say I have 3 tables  that are linked to each other 1:n

table 1 > table 2 > table 3

 

table 1

Deparment Group (Key to table 2)
AA A
BB B

 

table 2

Group Order (Key to table 3)
A 1
A 2

 

table 3

Order Value
1 500
2 600
3 700

 

Now I would like to calculate the sum from table 3 and add it to table 1.

 

Deparment Group Value
AA A 1100
BB B  

 

 

How would you do that?

      THanks a lot Migasuke. It's perfect. If I need a filter in Table 3, how would you add this into the function?

      Something like CALCULATE(SUM(Table 3[Value]), RELATEDTABLE(Table 3), Table 3[Value] >=500))?

        Honestly not sure what filter you need.

         

  • hi joshua1990 

    you can plot a table visual with Table1[department] and a measure like:

    measure = SUM(Table3[Value])

      As mentioned, it is about a calculated column

    Obviously, you make wrong relationship between table2 and table3.
