Dividing Measure Calculation by Column from another table

[Spattrell]

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.

Could you please tell me if you get the solution?

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])
