Measure for Sum from 2 tables with added text column

Hi All,

 

I have Dim table [customer] and 2 fact tables which I cannot append or merge. 

Customerid
JoeA
JaneB
JosephC

Fact table 1

IdAmount
A500
B400
C100

Fact table 2

IdAmount
B1000

 

Now I want the measure to Sum the amount of [fact table 2] and (the amount of [fact table 1] Exept for the id`s that are present in the [fact table 2]). So Each id gets only included once. I also want a text for each row indicatin from which fact table the amount is taken. 

 

Result:

CustomerAmountOrigin
Joe50Fact table 1
Jane1000Fact table 2
Joseph100Fact table 1

 

Hope you can help me

Hi @BobKoenen

I think it would be best to do this in PQ but see the file attached for a possible solution through measures as requested

 

Amount_M = 
VAR fT2_ = SELECTEDVALUE(FTable2[Amount])
RETURN
IF(ISBLANK(fT2_), SELECTEDVALUE(FTable1[Amount]), fT2_)  

 

 

 

Origin_M = 
VAR fT2_ = SELECTEDVALUE(FTable2[Amount])
RETURN
IF(ISBLANK(fT2_), "FTable1", "FTable2")
