Sum values on same date (different tables)

Hi everyone,

I would like to ask you something. Can someone help me out.

I made those two graphics using different tables.

I would like to sum the values of the same date. So for example: 3835 + 73800 = 77635.

Can someone tell me how I can sum the values where the date is equal?

Probably important to know.

- I used count(table[kolom]) to get the amount in both graphics

- I already tried to make a join between the two tables on date.

Thanks in advance

jppv20 is right.
If you have a calendar table that each of these fact tables can connect to (best practice),
a measure such as Total = SUM('TableA'[Sales]) + SUM('TableB'[Sales])
will work perfectly, assuming your visual uses the year\ month\ dates from the calendar table.

Hi Anonymous ,

Do you have a date table to connect both tables?

Hi,
I just create a date table and joined both tables with this table. It worked! So now it is possible to but them both in the visual.

I am wondering if I can also use DAX to make a measure. So I will not see dark blue and light blue, but just one.
I know I can manipulate this as wel with 'Formatting', but I would like to do this on a correct way.

Thanks in advance!

  You can always create a measure that does that!
  Aggregate = SUM('TableA'[Sales]) + SUM('TableB'[Sales])
  
  There you have it- a measure with one number to rule them all.
