Creating a measure relating data

Hi, I have two tables which have columns (Strategy) and (Package) which contains related data.

I wish to create a measure, to compare/relate the columns in strategy and package between both table and use the 'correct time' column to minus the 'average time' column. How can I do that ?

 

E.g if Table 2 and Table 1 has the same Strategy and package names/codes, 'SL2120' Strategy and 'AA' Package, take the value 15.3 minus 14.3 which should give 1.0.

Table 1  Table 2 
StrategyPackageAverage Time StrategyPackageCorrected Time
SL2120AA14.3 SL2120AA15.3
SL2123AB12.4 SL2123AB14.5
SL2124AC12.5 SL2124AC12.2
SL2125AD12.5 SL2125AD15.4
SL2126AE12.6 SL2126AE16.4

Hi @ephramz 

1. Place Table1[Strategy] and Table1[Package] in a table visual

2. Place this measure in the visual

See it all at work in the attached file.

Measure = 
VAR avgTime_ = SELECTEDVALUE ( Table1[Average Time] )
VAR corrTime_ =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( Table2[Corrected Time] ),
        TREATAS (
            SUMMARIZE ( Table1, Table1[Strategy], Table1[Package] ),
            Table2[Strategy],
            Table2[Package]
        )
    )
RETURN
corrTime_ - avgTime_
