Dividing Measure Calculation by Column from another table

Hi,

 

I am trying to use a measure to find "cost of a win" per team in a given season in a baseball data set. The first table is a table on player salary(called Salaries) that gives the Name(of player), YearID, TeamID, and Salary for the given player. The second table is the Team_Statistics table that gives the stats of a team for a year and contains the Wins statistic. These two tables are linked by a created columns called "YearID_TeamID". The relationship is one to many(Team_Statistic->Salaries) as each team per year has multiple player with salaries given.

Tables:

Currently I have the measure: Salary_Year = CALCULATE(SUM(Salaries[Salary]), GROUPBY(Salaries,Salaries[YearID_TeamID]))

 

I have attempted to divide this measure by Team_Statistics[Wins] but I recieve the error message "a single value for "Wins" cannot be determined'

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you for your time.

    I couldn't get this to work as it kept giving me the error message "a single value for "Wins" cannot be determined". Ultimately I just ended up creating a new column with the formula CostperWin = DIVIDE(Team_Statistics[SalaryperTeam],Team_Statistics[wins]) in the the Team Statistics table which has stats for every team for every year from 2004-2014.

    Hi Spattrell,

     

    Since the [Wins] in the one side, you can try it like below for most of the scenarios.

    Measure = [Salary_Year] / sum(Team_Statistics[Wins])

    Best Regards,

    Dale
