Create a 'virtual' matrix table based on 2 tables

I'm trying to combine two tables into a matrix. The use case is that I have sales in different categories and based on previous years I know the relative sales. Something like this:

 

 January
Candy500
Vegetable600
Juice700

 and

FebruaryMarchApril
10%5%1%

 

which I want to be able to create in something like this:

 JanuaryFebruaryMarchApril
Candy500550525505
Vegetable600660630606
Juice700770735

707

 

I have tried different searches on the forum but nothing pops up that seems to solve this. Sorry if it is too obvious and thanks for any guidelines in this.

Hi @Anonymous ,


According to your description, I did the test reference as follows:

Table =
VAR Feb =
    CALCULATE ( MAX ( Table2[Rate] ), Table2[Month] = "February" )
VAR Mar =
    CALCULATE ( MAX ( Table2[Rate] ), Table2[Month] = "March" )
VAR Apr =
    CALCULATE ( MAX ( Table2[Rate] ), Table2[Month] = "April" )
RETURN
    SUMMARIZE (
        Table1,
        Table1[Product],
        "Jan", MAX ( Table1[Value] ),
        "Feb",
            ( 1 + Feb )
                * MAX ( Table1[Value] ),
        "Mar",
            ( 1 + Mar )
                * MAX ( Table1[Value] ),
        "Apr",
            ( 1 + apr )
                * MAX ( Table1[Value] )
    )

Rearrange your data

 

Product Value
Candy 500
Vegetable 600
Juice 700

 

Month Rate
January 0%
February 10%
March 5%
April 1%

 

Then you can do a CROSSJOIN and add a calculated column  [Value]*(1+[Rate])
