Looking for Dax Command to calculate the instances of a value across two tables

[JordanJackson]

Hi there,

I am looking for a dax command that will return the instances of particular values from two tables. I have created a match table with numbers relating to certain categories. e.g. 4=Saftey.

This key is the same across two tables with a lookup table. However I want to have this data into a conbined total to give me one score for each of the categories. 

Currently I have been creating measures to calculate the number of times a value appears in each table seperatly with the following DAX:

App Category 4 = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('App Data'), 'App Data'[Category Number] = 4)

But I have just read that measures are not interactive with other visualisations. Also, this seems like an unecessarily high number of measures to have to write and I am sure that there must be an easier way to calculate this. 

I'm not sure whether the soloution will be through DAX or whther there is some way to sum together the instances of the same value from different tables into one combined value.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi,

The calculation group using tablar editor looked to complex for me currently, so I chose to attempt the problem through a different angel. 

Thanks
