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.

Obviously, you make wrong relationship between table2 and table3.


Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension!

DAX is simple, but NOT EASY!

why?

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
