Add column from another Table

Hi,

I have 2 tables (with relationship) – Table_A, Table_B.

I added “Table_B” column (IDT) to Table_A.

IDT Copy = RELATED(Table_B[IDT]).

The issue is Table_A consists of Dates and when IDT Copy, it will displayed in every row.
Latest Date eg. 5 rows. I only need to get 1 row record.

Date

Total Sales

IDT

27/4/23

100

50

27/4/23

100

50

27/4/23

100

50

27/4/23

100

50

27/4/23

150

50

TOTAL:

550

 

 

Actual Total = [Total Sales]- [IDT]
                      = 550 – 50
                      = 500

Can someone suggest how to solve this? or any simple solution for this?

Thank you

  • I added “Table_B” column (IDT) to Table_A.

    Please explain that decision.  Pulling dimension fields into a fact table should be limited to scenarios where it is absolutely required (for example when you have non-covering or degenerate dimensions).  In most cases the correct approach is to fix the data quality of your dimension table.

  • Hi, Thank you for the suggestion. I managed to do it using measure. thank you.
