Measure to sum a column bases on another tables column

Hello guys, it's my first post here and I'm very glad to be part of this forum.

Recently I'm trying to deal with a logical sum in DAX and to be honest I not dealing with it really well...

My problem is:

I have 3 tables:

I want to sum the MB52[Quantity] based on Current and Old Keys, reaching this result:

Identifying [Current Key] and suming the quantity of the [Old. Key] with owns [Current Key] quantity.

I tried this code but with no sucess 😞

[Sum. Quantity] =
IF
(

'KEYS'[Old. Key] <> "";

CALCULATE(SUM(MB52[Quantity]) ; MAX(MB52[Key]) = MAX('KEYS'[Old. Key])) + CALCULATE(SUM(MB52[Quantity]) ; MAX(MB52[Key]) = MAX('KEYS'[Current Key]));

SUM(MB52[Quantity])

)

I apreciate a lot your help and thanks anyway 🙂

Assuming that you have a one-to-many relationship from Products to Keys and no relationships between MB52 and the other tables, then you could try

Sum of quantity = CALCULATE ( SUM ( MB52[Quantity] ), TREATAS ( UNION ( VALUES ( Keys[Current Key] ), VALUES ( Keys[Old Key] ) ), MB52[Key] ) )

Sorry, I forgot to post the tables relationship...

Because I'm using power pivot I had to do some changes, using INTERSECT instead TREATAS and use DISTINCT on MB52[Key].

The final result is just a sum of Current Keys quantity and putting the Old Keys quantity in a null key 😞

Sum of quantity = CALCULATE(

                 SUM ( MB52[Quantity] ); 
                 INTERSECT(

                          UNION( VALUES ( KEYS[Current Key] ); VALUES( KEYS[Old. Key] ) );
                          DISTINCT(MB52[Key])

                )

           )

Result:

Hi paulomartins ,

Here are the steps you can follow：

1. Create measure.

Measure = var _old= CALCULATE(SUM('MB52'[Quantity]), FILTER(ALL(MB52), 'MB52'[Key]=MAX('Keys'[Old.Key]))) var _current= CALCULATE(SUM('MB52'[Quantity]), FILTER(ALL(MB52), 'MB52'[Key]=MAX('Keys'[Current Key]))) var _sum= _old + _current return IF( _sum = BLANK() ,0,_sum)

Measure 2 = SUMX( FILTER(ALL('Keys'), 'Keys'[Current Key] = MAX('Products'[Currrent Key])), [Measure])

2. Result:
