parry2k - sorry for late response, just a follow up to better understand campaign sales in the mailers table.

 

How exactly does this formula below work?

 

It gives me the right answer, but having trouble following the logic.

 

Campaing Sales = CALCULATE( COUNTROWS( Sales ), TREATAS( VALUES( Mailers[Campaign] ), Sales[Campaign] ) )

    I did a bit more research, and It would be a ton of help if I could understand the logic below, but also I'm wondering why we didn't use a summarize along with customer id so we join on both customer id and mailers?

     

    It seems to be doing everything correctly, but I saw others using a summarize function.

     

    Campaing Sales = CALCULATE( COUNTROWS( Sales ), TREATAS( VALUES( Mailers[Campaign] ), Sales[Campaign] ) )
