Hi,
I'm looking to create a summarize table based on the following :
Table A :
| Date | Category | Sales |
| 1/1/2024 | A | 10 |
| 1/1/2024 | B | 15 |
| 2/1/2024 | A | 12 |
Table B :
| Date | Category | Cost |
| 1/1/2024 | B | 5 |
| 2/1/2024 | C | 4 |
| 2/1/2024 | A | 3 |
Dimension Table Date :
Date |
| 1/1/2024 |
2/1/2024 |
| 3/1/2024 |
Dimension Table Category :
| Category |
| A |
| B |
| C |
The intended outcome based on the summarize table should look like this :
Table Summarized :
| Date | Category | Sales | Cost |
| 1/1/2024 | A | 10 | |
| 1/1/2024 | B | 15 | 5 |
| 2/1/2024 | A | 12 | 3 |
| 2/1/2024 | C | 4 |
Appreciate any help !

Hi @velvetine_123 ,
Please try below code:-
SummarizedTable =
VAR _uni =
UNION (
SELECTCOLUMNS (
'Table A',
"Date", 'Table A'[Date],
"Category", 'Table A'[Category],
"Sales", 'Table A'[Sales],
"Cost", BLANK ()
),
SELECTCOLUMNS (
'Table B',
"Date", 'Table B'[Date],
"Category", 'Table B'[Category],
"Sales", BLANK (),
"Cost", 'Table B'[Cost]
)
)
RETURN
SUMMARIZE (
_uni,
[Date],
[Category],
"Sales",
SUMX (
FILTER (
_uni,
[Date] = EARLIER ( [Date] )
&& [Category] = EARLIER ( [Category] )
),
[Sales]
),
"Cost",
SUMX (
FILTER (
_uni,
[Date] = EARLIER ( [Date] )
&& [Category] = EARLIER ( [Category] )
),
[Cost]
)
)

@velvetine_123 , Either you can use Join in Power Query to merge these tables by going to Home selecte merge query option or you can create summarized table by going to modelling view and selecting new table using below mentioned DAX

Hey thanks for your response, but i keep getting error saying the number the number of columns in UNION are not the same. I've been trying to figure it out but I cant. Wondering if you know what is that about ?
