Multiply values in columns (Different tables)
Say I have one table like this:
| a | 1,02 |
| b | -0,4 |
| c | -5 |
| a | -3,2 |
| b | 3 |
| c | -4,5 |
And the other table like this:
| a | 839403284 |
| b | 932848032 |
| c | 39842048 |
How to I multiply each of the values in the first table with the corresponding values in the second table?
And what should the relation on the "Model"-page look like?
Thanks!

Hi Anonymous ,
Please refer to my pbix file to see if it helps you.
Create a measure.
Measure = MAX('Table'[value])*MAX('Table (2)'[val])If I have misunderstood your meaning, please provide more details with your desired output.

If you know that there will only be 1 entry per item in the 2nd table then you can create a one-to-many relationship between the tables. You would then be able to use the RELATED function to do the multiplication. e.g. you could create a column on the first table like
Multiplied value = 'Table 1'[Value] * RELATED('Table 2'[Value])- AnonymousNot applicable
It won't let me make that formula.. 😕

Firstly you can create a relationship between the two tables based on the common column. Now you can use the below DAX to do the multiplication -
Multiply = TABLE1[COLUMN1]* RELATED(TABLE2[COLUMN2])
Model Should look something like this, just a sample image -Let me know if this helped you.

Create a relationship between the two tables first.

can you share a picture of the diagram view showing the relationship between the tables ?

It's a simple, many-to-one relationship.
One table has only one occurence of each value, while the other table has lots of occurences of each value. Does it matter wheter it's formatted as numbers or text? (the values that are related are 4-number values)- johnt75Super User
It doesn't matter whether they are numbers or text but they both need to be the same. and if its text you need to make sure that there are no leading or trailing spaces in either column, as that would throw the relationship out

This works for most categories:
But for certain others it's completely wrong... why would that be?

My Undestanding that you cannot create calculated columns and you cannot create or edit relationships. Then try to create New MeasureNewMeasure = SUMX ( Table1, VAR Name = Table1[Name] VAR Value1 = Table1[Value] VAR Value2 = MAXX ( FILTER ( Table2, Table2[Name] = Name ), Table2[Value] ) RETURN Value1 * Value2 ) - AnonymousNot applicable
