Creating a measure from value on multiple related Tables (NEWB)

I have 1 flat transaction data source that I have created 2 tables from. 1 is pretty much a straight dump of the data, and the other is built using the summarize command to get the Stats of the Store...

    I definitely don't think you need to do anything in Edit Queries (no need for a merge), but I do agree that making this as a calculated column in the Transaction table is your best bet. Note you'll need to add a RELATED() around any reference to a column in the other table.

KABOOM

You are a rockstar jahida!!

Thanks,

I'm such a NEWB

 

I could not figure out why it would not accept a column from another table in the calc.

Haha thanks, yeah the related function is a bit to get your head around (doesn't feel like it should be necessary but is).
