Multiply Across Fact Tables with Measures
Super Useris this a correct representation, with "dimensions" at the top and "facts" at the bottom ?
In light of all the field name changes, do you mind restating the original DAX Studio query with the new names?
The representation is correct. Yes, I can write the original query. Just not from this device at the moment.
Good news, bad news... I realized I can't re-create the original statement. It was relying on a relationship that I shouldn't rely on which was exposed thanks to my cleaned up example model.
Thinking about it further, originally I was thinking that I needed to summarize the ProjectArea table, but I don't think that is appopriate. There is no data I need to summerize from that table. I need to leverage the data, but not summarize it. I'm generating new data for each Depdent Category by mutiplying the measures [Area by Care Setting Ratio] * [% of Benchmark Dependent Program by CareSetting].
I need to iteratate through each Depdent Category multiplying those values, but the values have to have the proper context as in the visual tables in the sample file.
Thoughts?

It's always good to question and review the data model. This also helps to better identify what you (or your users) are actually trying to achieve, and what they plan to do with the results.
It's a process, it may not be pretty but I am confident it will result in progress.
I'll chew on your last post for a bit and will let you know if I have meaningful input.
