Hello All,

 

I want to create a calculated table using 2 existing tables in Power BI.
1st table:

a20%01-10-2021
b30%01-10-2021
c40%01-10-2021
d10%01-10-2021

 

2nd table:

categoryamountdate
one50001-10-2021
two100001-10-2021
three150001-10-2021

 

Output:

namecatamountdate
aone10001-10-2021
bone15001-10-2021
cone20001-10-2021
done5001-10-2021

I want the "amount" from the 2nd table to be distributed using the "percentage" column in the 1st table. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Hi @Devesh,

I created a sample pbix file(see attachment), please check whether that is what you want. First, Please create the relationship for Table1 and Table2 base on date fields...

Create relationship base on date fieldsCreate relationship base on date fields

1. If you want to get a summarized table, you can create a calculated table with following DAX formula:

Output = 
SUMMARIZECOLUMNS (
    'Table1'[name],
    'Table2'[category],
    'Table1'[date],
    "amount", SUM ( 'Table1'[percentage] ) * SUM ( 'Table2'[amount] )
)

2. If you just want to display as a table visual, you can simply create a measure as below. 

NAmount = SUM('Table1'[percentage])*SUM('Table2'[amount])

In the data you give everything has the same date.

In your real data are the two table related on date column?

Appreciate your Kudos!!

Yes, they are related on date column. As we add data for next month, it should be filtered by date column.
