I have two tables that are of the same layout but contain different values. Essentially, I just want to combine two arrays into a /show the result of the summaries of each table into a single visual. The example below shows the visuals I have and what I'm trying to produce, rather than the data itself, that is, the arrays shown below are a summary of my much larger data.
have:
Table 1 Matrix 1
Category | Dollars |
| B | 10 |
| C | 10 |
| D | 15 |
| E | 20 |
Table 2 Matrix 2
Category | Dollars |
| B | 5 |
| C | 15 |
| D | 10 |
| E | 0 |
I want to:
An array that shows both summaries in a single visual
Category | T1 Dollars | T2 Dollars |
| B | 10 | 5 |
| C | 10 | 15 |
| D | 15 | 10 |
| E | 20 | 0 |
I tried to use DAX to create a variable in table 1 that sums table 2 dollars based on my table 1 categories, but this failed.
Table2_Dollars de cálculo( SUM( 'Table2'[Dollars], FILTER( 'Table2', 'Table2'[Category] ? CALCULATE( VALUES( 'TABLE1'[Category]))))
Thank you in advance!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @JeremiahMason ,
Would you please try to create a measure for T2 Dollars:
T2 = CALCULATE(SUM('Table (2)'[Dollars]),FILTER(ALL('Table (2)'), 'Table (2)'[Category] in DISTINCT('Table'[Category])))
If this post helps, then please consider Accept it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly.

@JeremiahMason you should create a category table with unique values that is related to these tables with one to many and then add a measure for each table, in visualization, use category from this new category table and measures for each table
T1 Dollars = SUM ( Table1[Dolloars] )
T2 Dollars = SUM ( Table2[Dolloars] )
