Add result of one table to specific row of another

Hi,

 

A simplified example of what I need. I have these 2 tables:

 

Table 1:

Column 1   Column 2

Line 1         20

Line 2         30

Line 3         10

 

SUM(Column 2) = 60

 

Table 2:

Column 1   Column 2

Line A         10

Line B         5

Line C         15

 

Now I need to add the total sum of table 1 to Line C of table 2 to be able to display a power bi table as follows:

 

Power BI Table:

Column 1   Column 2

Line A         10

Line B         5

Line C         75 (15 + 60)

 

So the final report lines share names with the ones in table 2.

 

Any ideas on how to achieve this?

@Sumsar Don't know what you are trying to achieve here but this will work, add a measure

 

Measure = 
SUM ( Table2[Column2] )
+
IF ( SELECTEDVALUE ( Table2[Column1] ) = "Line C", SUM( Table1[Column2] ) )

Try the below DAX measure.

 

Val = 
var selectedVal= SELECTEDVALUE(Table2[Column2])
var selectedLine= SELECTEDVALUE(Table2[Column1])
var _sum= SUM(Table1[Column2])+selectedVal
var result= SWITCH(selectedLine,"LineC",_sum,selectedVal)
return result
