DAX Measure

Trying to figure out how to create a measure that performs a calculation for each region in the dataset then rolls it together.  For example, table 1 has Region and Sales (i.e. DEN, 1000) and table 2 has Region and Growth (i.e. DEN, 8%).  For each region, multiply sales X growth (1080 in the example) then sum all these together.  Table 1 and Table 2 are not related.  Many thanks...

    The following measure should work with a relationship:

     

    New Measure = 
    SUMX(
        'Table 1',        
        'Table 1'[Sales] * RELATED('Table 2'[Growth])
    )

  • Hi Sony ,

     

    I think you will first need to have a realtionship between both of your tables, otherwise you can-not use individual columns from 2 tables to do a calculation.

     

    Another way is using LOOKUPVALUE dax function, by getting one of the columns like SALES from your Table 1 to Table2 against regions.

     

    Thanks,

      Thank you.  Let’s say they are related…then what would the DAX formula look like?  Assuming this below:

       

      Table1

      Region, Sales

       

      Table2

      Region, Growth%

        Hi Sony ,

         

        Can you provide some sample data for both of your tables along with the expected output?

         

        Thanks,

        Pragati
