For that you create relations on the relation diagram and then create the visuals accordingly,

Is this clear?

No, Please find the below queries, hope it clears 

 

Table 1

Table2

I'll use =SUMIFS('Table 2'!C:C,'Table 2'!A:A,'Table 1'!B:B) this to calculate my values, pls help how to do the same in powerbi

What do you want to calculate exactly?

 

If you want to do it like in Excel, do it in Excel, PBI is a little different.

 

The relations in PBI make it easy to do those calculations.

The concern here I have huge data to proceed where I need to do it powerbi to do some analysis. the example shown was for easy understanding of my query. But the response to go back with Excel is not satisfied. 

 

Does this we don't have any other option to do?

Yes, of course it is possible.

 

Like I told you:

 

"For that you create relations on the relation diagram and then create the visuals accordingly"

 

You link the two fields (IDs) on the diagram and then create the table on the report view with whatever you like. No need for SUMIFs.

 

It's different from Excel, that's the point.

Thanks for your response..
