Hello everyone,
I'm fairly new to PowerBI and I can't make this measure work. I have two tables:
1 - The first one repeats the names of every city, adding the year in another column.
Amount City Code Month Year RISP
2 - The other one doesn't repeat the city, but adds a lot of columns for years (each "year" column is the city population in that year).
Code City RISP 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019
I need to write a measure that divides the amount by the population, but using the correct population value for that year. Any ideas how I'd do that?
Thanks!

The easiest way would be to unpivot your data. Check here for a guide.

Once your data is in multiple rows per country, you should be able to used SELECTEDVALUE to find the correct value.
