    Hi ilana105,

    In order to solve this I have tried different solutions:

    • Create an intermediate table with all dates and use it to link both tables. However, I can´t create a table in Power BI when importing directly with direct query


    What data source are you using with direct query model? Is it possible for you to create the Intermediate Calendar table on the data source side(like in a SQL DB)?:smileyhappy:

    In order to solve this I have tried different solutions:

    • Calculate the information from the second table using the "Calculate" function, but this doesn´t work.


    Have you tried using a similar formula like below to create a measure to calculate aggregate value from another table? It should work in this scenario.:smileyhappy:

    SumOfInventory =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( Table2[Inventory] ),
        FILTER (
            Table2,
            Table2[Year] = MAX ( Table1[Year] )
                && Table2[Month] = MAX ( Table1[Month] )
        )
    )

     

    Regards
