Hello is the combination of Month, Year and SKU unique in each table?

 

If it would be you could use the following:

Measure:=SUMX(fCost;
VAR Actual_Year=fCost[Year]
VAR Actual_Month=fCost[Month]
VAR Actual_SKU=fCost[SKU] RETURN
fCost[Cost]*CALCULATE(SUM(fValue[Value]);FILTER(fValue;fValue[Year]=Actual_Year&&fValue[Month]=Actual_Month&&fValue[SKU]=Actual_SKU)))

Assumptions made:

Table with Cost is named fCost

Table with Volume is named fValue. Volume is here called Value.

Measure is created in fCost table.

The combination of Year, Month and SKU is unique in each row of fCost.

Now combination (Year, Month, SKU) appears in fValue which is not in fCost.

Tables are not related.

 

If you create a Pivot with Year, Month and SKU from fCost it should be fine.

Thanks a lot. I will put it in my model and try.

 

But it seems in Filter I have to put Year hard coded rather than it being dynamic. Am I right?

    Hello,

     

    no it is not hard coded. With VAR you define your actuals dynamically.
