Creating table from two tables using SUMMARIZE

I am trying to create a table with three columns (Full Name, Actual Hours, Contracted Hours)

 

I created the below measure

Top Staff =
VAR K=
FILTER(HR_MonthlySalary, HR_MonthlySalary[Actual Hours] > HR_MonthlySalary[Hours Contracted])
Return
CALCULATETABLE(
SUMMARIZE(HR_Data_Final,HR_Data_Final[FullName]),
KEEPFILTERS(K)
)
but got the below error

Hi, @KhaledEid ;

According to the official document,  KEEPFILTERS(<expression>) Any expression.

 however in your dax,  "K" is return a table ,not a expression .

so i think you could modify it.

Top Staff =
CALCULATETABLE (
    SUMMARIZE ( HR_Data_Final, HR_Data_Final[FullName] ),
    KEEPFILTERS ( HR_MonthlySalary[Actual Hours] > HR_MonthlySalary[Hours Contracted] )
)

@KhaledEid , this code will return table, Seem like you are using it in a measure

 

table ->  Top Staff =
VAR K=
FILTER(HR_MonthlySalary, HR_MonthlySalary[Actual Hours] > HR_MonthlySalary[Hours Contracted])
Return
CALCULATETABLE(
SUMMARIZE(HR_Data_Final,HR_Data_Final[FullName]),
K
)

 

 

Measure  ->

Top Staff =
VAR K=
FILTER(HR_MonthlySalary, HR_MonthlySalary[Actual Hours] > HR_MonthlySalary[Hours Contracted])
Return
countrows( CALCULATETABLE(
SUMMARIZE(HR_Data_Final,HR_Data_Final[FullName]),
K
))
