Create new column from a measure .

Hi All ..!! 
I am just wondering how to convert a measure  to a new column in the Data  . 

Basically i have 4 columns from two different tables . 

 

Table1[PersonID]

Table1[HoursAllocated]

Table2[Actual Hours]

Table2[HoursDifference]---> Measure. (Which gives the correct results)

The above Measure is - 

Hours_Difference = AVERAGEX(Table2, Table2[Actual Hours] - AVERAGEX(Table1, Table1[HoursAllocated]))
 
What i need to do is instead of  creating this as Measure , i need to create this as a new column in Table2 Data. 
So when i try to paste the measure in NewColumn , it gives the same single result for all the records which is wrong. 
 
Thank you in Advance for your knowledge contribution...!!

Hi  @MartinAa ,

I created some data:

Table1:

vyangliumsft_0-1675751354011.png

Table2:

vyangliumsft_1-1675751354011.png

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Create calculated column.

Column_Hours_Difference =
'Table2'[Actual Hours] -  AVERAGEX('Table1','Table1'[HoursAllocated])

 

2. Result:

vyangliumsft_2-1675751354014.png
