Filter columns from two or more tables
I have two tables Employee and Department, and the common column is deptno.
I have been trying to calculate the number of employees from deptno 20 whose earns more than 550.
I palyed with the FILTER function, but its not letting me filter columns from two different tables
| EMPNO | DEPTNO | SAL |
SZ190 | 10 | 459 |
| SZ181 | 20 | 600 |
| SZ876 | 20 | 587 |
| SZ568 | 20 | 545 |
| SZ732 | 30 | 390 |
Department Table
| DEPTNO | CITY |
| 10 | LA |
| 20 | CHICAGO |
| 30 | JACKSONVILLE |
Thanks,

Create a lookup column and use it to filter EMP table. I have updated the PBIX with altered solution.
Does this help?

I just realised this could have been done using CALCULATE function which reestablishes the relation ship between the tables.Instead of manually passing city = chicago and sal > 500.
is there a way to to parameterized the hard coded values?- NaveenGandhi

For City you can use a slicer of city name[create a city dim table and keep this disconnected], For salary create a numeric parameter. Use selectedvalue function to pass both of these to the measure. It will look something like below.
calculate(count(emp),city=selected value of(city_fromdim table)&&salary>selectedvalue(numeric_parameter))
