Calculated column with differente table

Hello, I am looking to create a calculated column that gives the turnover generated per customer.
Knowing that each sale made is in another table, how can I retrieve the amount of sales for a customer knowing that it is possible that this customer has made several orders?

 

I would point out that the "Customer Key" column appears in both tables :

Thanks for your help.

Hi @Louis63 ,

 

You can try SUM() function.

Turnover Generated =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'FACT_Sales 2019-2021'[Turnover] ),
    FILTER (
        'FACT_Sales 2019-2021',
        'FACT_Sales 2019-2021'[Customer Key] = EARLIER ( 'TableName'[Customer Key] )
    )
)

Hi @Louis63 ,

 

Please try this code to create a calculated column.

Turnover Generated =
CALCULATE (
    DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'FACT_Sales 2019-2021'[Turnover] ),
    FILTER (
        'FACT_Sales 2019-2021',
        'FACT_Sales 2019-2021'[Customer Key] = EARLIER ( 'TableName'[Customer Key] )
    )
)

Hello @Anonymous , thanks for helping.

 

You almost get it. The calculated column you propose gives the number of times the customer appears in the "Sales 2019-2021" table. Do you know how to calculate the amount of turnover generated in the "Turnover" column instead?

Sales 2019-2021 table:

Thanks a lot
