Convert a Measure to a Calculated Column

I have 2 disconnected tables:

ProductValueLookup Column

A2?
A3?
B4?
B5?

 

and 

 

ProductValue2

A3
A2
A2
B1

 

I can create a measure to lookup and sum the value from Table 2 to Table 1:

 

Lookup Measure = CALCULATE(SUM(Table2[Value2]), TREATAS(VALUES(Table1[Product]), Table2[Product]))

 

 

How can I create a calculated column in Table 1 to have the same result as the measure above?

Thanks

Lookup Column = 
CALCULATE(
    SUM( Table2[Value2] ),
    TREATAS( { ( Table1[Product] ) }, Table2[Product] )
)

Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension!

DAX is simple, but NOT EASY!
