Create a Column where sum two columns from different tables

Hi guys, not sure if this is possible:

 

In Table 1 I have a column called Amount Table1[Amount]

In table 2 I have a clumn called Extra Table2[Extra]

 

What I want to do is on Table 1 sum those two values in a new column:

New Column = Table1[amount]+ Table2[Extra]

Hello , 

first to make this work you should make a relationship between the tables  and you should have a unique identifier , you have 3 options : 

1- merge the 2 tables in power queries 
2- make a new table in power bi as a summarize 
3 - measure in a column in table 1 : Total = Table1[Amount] + RELATED(Table2[Extra]) 

measure 3 will work if you have realationship correct . 

Kindly accept as a solution if it works with you and a kudo would be greatfull .
