Dax query for dates from different unrelated tables

Hi @Greg_Deckler  I have created a dax measure in power bi but it made the performance of the report very slow. I have two unrelated tables A and table B with dates and I have to get the sum of sales from table A where table A date(month,year) = table B (month,year). So I have created below dax measure

 

measure = calculate(sum(sales), filter(table A, month(table A) = month(table B)), filter(table A, year(table A) = year(tableB))

 

measure works fine. But the performance became very slow after getting this measure into the matrix. Please suggest

@Anonymous , ideally Create a common date table and filter both using the date table aulte

 

M1 = countrows(tableb)

 

M2 = Sum(TableA[Value])

 

M3 = sumx(filter( Values(Date[Date]) , not(Isblank([M1]))) , [M2])
