Hi Anonymous ,

I tested on my side. Here's my data model.

You need to put the [PID] from Look_up table into the visual.

Measure = SUM('Table 1'[Balance])*SUM('Table 2'[RATE])

Awesome, it works.

But could you help me to understand more about the logic here.

Function SUMX: SUMX(Table, Expression)

Wow, It looks more simple. I like your solution.

I will test. Actually Table 1 and Table 2 link with 2 lookup: PID & Currency like that:

Table1 (PID, Currency, Balance)

Table2 (PID, Currency, Rate)

I will try to use your solution to check whether it works. Thank you very much
