Calculating Value taking data from different tables on condition

[Anonymous]

I have data from two tables that I want to mix in a matrix column, it only takes information from one table per row, a central table with a condition decides which table to take the data from (Picture Below)

I have three tables that are used to calculate the hourly sale rate of an employee.

Table 1 : Fixed Rate

This table contains the employee  and a fixed hourly sale rate

Table 2: Hourly rate per package

The hours of this employee are sold in packages and each package has an amount of hours and it can have a different rate per package

Table 3: Central Table

This tables contains the employee and which kind of hourly rate to apply

Table 4 : Employee Table ( Contains only employee data)

I have calculated two measures in order to calculate the average hourly sale rate, one for table 1 and one for table 2 . I want to use a measure that takes data from the calculated measure for table 1 when the employee belongs to the fixed hourly rate table, and from  measure 2 when the employee belongs to the hours sold in packages ( table 2).

Is it possible to achieve something like this?

Thank you

First, create two base measures that return blank when there are no rows in their respective tables.

Example:

Avg Fixed Rate =
VAR rows = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(fixed_hourly_rate))
RETURN
IF(rows = 0, BLANK(), AVERAGEX(fixed_hourly_rate, fixed_hourly_rate[hourly_rate]))

Avg Package Rate =
VAR rows = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(package_hourly_rate))
RETURN
IF(rows = 0, BLANK(), DIVIDE(SUM(package_hourly_rate[amount]), SUM(package_hourly_rate[hours])))

Then create the combined measure that takes the first non-blank result.

Hourly Sale Rate =
COALESCE([Avg Fixed Rate], [Avg Package Rate])

This way, each employee row in the matrix will show whichever rate exists for that employee.

If you need correct totals (for example an average across all employees), use this version instead:

Hourly Sale Rate Total =
VAR t =
ADDCOLUMNS(
VALUES(employee_category[employee_id]),
"rate", COALESCE([Avg Fixed Rate], [Avg Package Rate])
)
RETURN
AVERAGEX(t, [rate])

If your central table contains a field specifying which type of rate applies, you can use this logic instead:

Hourly Sale Rate =
VAR src=SELECTEDVALUE(employee_category[rate_source])
RETURN
SWITCH(src,
"Fixed", [Avg Fixed Rate],
"Package", [Avg Package Rate],
BLANK()
)

Make sure relationships flow correctly from employee_category to both rate tables so that the filter context works as expected. If any relationship is inactive, activate it with USERELATIONSHIP inside your base measures.

Hi @Anonymous 

I roughly get your point. Is it convenit for you to provide some sample data so we can do research based on them to help you find the solution? Thanks in advance!
