I have two tables which have the same id column. I need to add a slicer in to filter, How?

I have two tables which have the same id column.

I need to add a slicer to drill down on sales per salesperson.

I do not know where to start, and what my dax formula should ook like.

In sql. it would be an inner join I suppose. How to handle this problem from the start? And what would the syntax look like?

Hi @PowerNewbee ,

 

According to your description, you can establish the relationship between the two tables based on the ID, and then create the following MEASURE to get the sales corresponding to the salesman by filtering.

result_ = 
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( Table_[Sold] ),
    FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[Saler] = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Saler] ) )
)
