Calculate Sum from another table for matching values

[Anonymous]

I have 2 tables. One with people and payments. The other with a couple selected names that I want sums for. I need this as a table.

table1

name amount

bob 10

joe 5

mike 7

bob 5

mike 2

table2

name amount

bob 15

mike 9

I think I need something like this:

[table2]amount = calculate( sum( 'table1'[amount]) , 'table1'(name) = 'table2'(name) )

I asked a similar question here, but if I calculate it this way, the numbers on my page won't change with the filters I display.

Hi bshimamoto, 

You don't need to create sum measure, when add it to table, it will sum automatically

If you want to use another table(table2) in filter, you need to make sure there is a realtionship between two tables, then it will work.
