@JQuon,

 

You may use SELECTCOLUMNS Function (DAX) and UNION Function to add a calculated table.

After hours of trial and error with union and selectcolumns function, I was able to find a solution using your suggestion.  Thanks for putting me on the right track.

Hi Sam,

 

This puts me in the right direction, but after spending some time googling, I'm stilll having trouble getting the desired results.  Could you elaborate a little more?  Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks
