Dividing columns from two calculated tables

I have a Dates table, a bookings table, and a sales table.

 

I created two tables which summarize total bookings and total sales by EOM (End of Month from the Dates table): 

EOM = EOMONTH(Dates[Date],0)

 

I am now trying to divide the Monthly Bookings and the sales Monthly Shipments so that I can show book-to-bill by month.

 

Monthly Bookings =
SUMMARIZE (
AMCBookings,
Dates[EOM],
"Total", SUM (AMCBookings[Total])
)
 
Monthly Sales =
SUMMARIZE (
AMCSalesLog,
Dates[EOM],
"Total", SUM (AMCSalesLog[Sales])
)
 
I cannot seem to figure it out.  Can anyone help?

I would like the data to look like below and then be able to divide Total Bookings by Total Sales for each EOM.

 

EOM

10/31/2020100,000,000.00120,000,000.00

@dgelfuso , You can join then with date table and then analyze together with dates table

 

And try a measure like

divide(sum('Monthly Bookings'[Total]), sum('Monthly Sales'[Total]))

 

Or you can combone these two table and analyze

new Table

union (
SUMMARIZE (
AMCBookings,
Dates[EOM],
"Total Bookings", SUM (AMCBookings[Total]),
"Total Sales", 0
)
,
SUMMARIZE (
AMCSalesLog,
Dates[EOM],
"Total Bookings", 0,
"Total Sales", SUM (AMCSalesLog[Sales])
)
)

This is the result.  I think I need one row per EOM date so that I can perform math on the two columns.

 

EOM

Total BookingsTotal Sales
10/31/20200120,000,000.00
10/31/202090,000,000.00 0

I had to create another table that resulted in one row per EOM date (see below).  I would think it would be possible to do it in one step instead of two.

 

Monthly Table Final =
SUMMARIZE (
FILTER('Monthly Table','Monthly Table'[EOM]<>blank()),
'Monthly Table'[EOM],
"Total Bookings", SUM ('Monthly Table'[Total Bookings]),
"Total Sales", SUM ('Monthly Table'[Total Sales])
)

Hi @dgelfuso 

Could you tell me if your problem has been solved? If it is, share your workaround and kindly Accept it as the solution. More people will benefit from it. Or you are still confused about it, please provide me with more details about your table and your problem or share me with your pbix file from your Onedrive for Business.

 

Best Regards,

Rico Zhou
