DAX to calculate sum based on another table
Hello All,
I am trying to create a measure to calcualte the sum of cost of all products from another table. Cost information are stored in Table 1(Dimension table) and Table 2 contains mutiple products along with costid (Fact Table).
Table 1 has the cost info like this
| CostId | Costsaving |
| 1 | 12.5 |
| 2 | 25 |
| 3 | 35 |
| 4 | 50 |
| 5 | 74 |
Table 2 (Fact) has the products
| CostID | Product | ID |
| 1 | A | 10 |
| 1 | B | 11 |
| 2 | A | 12 |
| 2 | C | 13 |
| 3 | C | 14 |
| 3 | A | 15 |
| 3 | B | 16 |
| 4 | A | 17 |
| 4 | A | 18 |
| 4 | A | 19 |
| 4 | A | 20 |
| 5 | A | 21 |
| 5 | C | 22 |
| 5 | A | 23 |
I wanted to create a measure to calcualate the sum of cost of all products. Table 1 and Table 2 has one-many relationship using CostID. I need to get the final result as 602 which is nothing sum of all costs in Table 2
| CostID | Product | ID | Lookup value from Table 1 |
| 1 | A | 10 | 12.5 |
| 1 | B | 11 | 12.5 |
| 2 | A | 12 | 25 |
| 2 | C | 13 | 25 |
| 3 | C | 14 | 35 |
| 3 | A | 15 | 35 |
| 3 | B | 16 | 35 |
| 4 | A | 17 | 50 |
| 4 | A | 18 | 50 |
| 4 | A | 19 | 50 |
| 4 | A | 20 | 50 |
| 5 | A | 21 | 74 |
| 5 | C | 22 | 74 |
| 5 | A | 23 | 74 |
| 602 |

Anonymous,
I am getting the following error for the DAX measure mentioned below when i use excel stored locally as a Dim and (Fact table) uses direct query. but, not getting any error if i imported the fact table. Can you help us in getting resolved this issue when using both the direct query and lookup data from the local file. I would appreciate any suggestions to acheive the desired result.
"The column 'Dim_ProductCost(ProductCostValue' either doesn't exist or doesn't have a relationship to any table available in the current context."
