Hi Everyone,  I'm making a Date Table and in it I want to include a calculated Column "Total Order Amount" from 'Orders' Table where "Total Order Amount" column equals Orders[OrderQuantity] * Orders...

    Hi MichaelG1117 , 

     

    Based on your description, Please try code as below to create a Calculated Column.

    My Sample:

    Table = 
var _table=
ADDCOLUMNS(
    CALENDAR(DATE(2013,1,1),DATE(2013,1,31)),
    "Weeknum", WEEKNUM([Date]),
    "Week Number & Year", "W" & WEEKNUM([Date]) & " " &YEAR([Date]),
    "WeekYearNumber", YEAR([Date]) & 100 + WEEKNUM([Date])
    )
return
ADDCOLUMNS(
    _table,    
    "Total Order Amount",
    SUMX(
    FILTER(ALL(Orders),
    'Orders'[OrdeDaterKey]=EARLIER([Date])),[OrderQuantity]*[SalesPrice])
    )

    Result is as below.

     

    Best Regards,

MichaelG1117 Maybe try using RELATEDTABLE in your SUMX although it may not work as the relationship may not technically exist yet as the table is being calculated (created). Could also explore dropping the CALCULATE.

I tried taking out the SumX, did not work. 

 

Tried Relatedtable but was unsure what the script would be --- didn't work

    MichaelG1117 Keep the SUMX. Drop the CALCULATE. Use RELATED or RELATEDTABLE as the first argument for your SUMX
