    Hi _Janwi31 ,

     

    (1)Create a new table that merges the data from the two tables and fills in the missing data with zeros.

     

    CombinedTable = 
    UNION (
        SELECTCOLUMNS (
            'TotalTarget',
            "Salesperson", 'TotalTarget'[Salesperson],
            "Department", 'TotalTarget'[Department],
            "CustomerType", 'TotalTarget'[CustomerType],
            "Target", 'TotalTarget'[Target],
            "Achieved", 0
        ),
        SELECTCOLUMNS (
            'TargetAchieved',
            "Salesperson", 'TargetAchieved'[Salesperson],
            "Department", 'TargetAchieved'[Department],
            "CustomerType", 'TargetAchieved'[CustomerType],
            "Target", 0,
            "Achieved", 'TargetAchieved'[Achieved]
        )
    )

     

    (2)Create a new measure to calculate the sum of the target and realized values for each combination of salesperson, department, and customer type:

     

    TotalTargetAndAchieved = 
    SUMX (
        SUMMARIZE (
            'CombinedTable',
            'CombinedTable'[Salesperson],
            'CombinedTable'[Department],
            'CombinedTable'[CustomerType],
            "TotalTarget", SUM ( 'CombinedTable'[Target] ),
            "TotalAchieved", SUM ( 'CombinedTable'[Achieved] )
        ),
        [TotalTarget] + [TotalAchieved]
    )

    (3)Then the result is as follows.

     

     

    If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. Thank you.
