Summarizing values from different tables

Hi, need some help. I have two tables - Internet Sales and Reseller Sales. The common field is the OrderDateKey. Both tables include PTI, SalesAmount, OrderQuantity and TotalProductCost. How to combine on the matrix table those values as TotalSalesAmount, TotalOrderQuantity etc.?

@harry6810 , If this a many to many join. then better you do union and summarize

https://www.sqlbi.com/articles/from-sql-to-dax-joining-tables/

 

example

summarize(union(selectcolumns('Table'1,"Month",'Table'1[Month],"Figure",'Table'1[Figure],"Figure2",0),
selectcolumns('Table'2,"Month",'Table'2[Month],"Figure",0,"Figure2",'Table'2[Figure])),
[Month],"Figure", sum([Figure1]),"Figure2", sum([Figure2]))

 

 

or append and aggregate in power query
