Help to sum value from another table but filtered by multiple columns that match both tables.

Hi Coltella8013
you can write a measure as follows:
measure _WTE :=
var _region = selectedvalue ('first table' [region])
var _team = selectedvalue ('first table' [team])
var _jobtitle = selectedvalue ('first table' [job title])
return
calculate (sum( 'employee data' [ WTE avtual] ) , filter ('employee data' , 'employee data' [region] = _ region && 'employee data' [team] = _team && 'employee data' [job title] = _jobtitle))
If this post helps, then I would appreciate a thumbs up and mark it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly.

Thank you! This is great. I have however noticed a flaw in my design and have had to change it slightly making it more complicated.
I have had to group the results of both tables using a union:
WTE Union = UNION(SELECTCOLUMNS(FILTER('Employee Data', 'Employee Data'[Employee Status] = "Active"), "Region", 'Employee Data'[Location], "Team", 'Employee Data'[Department], "Job Title", 'Employee Data'[Job Role]), SELECTCOLUMNS('Funded Establishment (WTE)', "Region", 'Funded Establishment (WTE)'[Region], "Team", 'Funded Establishment (WTE)'[Team], "Job Title", 'Funded Establishment (WTE)'[Job Role]))This appears to be working.I then introduced a lookup from the WTE fields in both original tables, however I have noticed where no result returns is is empty which I believe is causing charts not to render correctly.I have tried an IF and IFEMPTY statement but cannot seem to get it right.Any idea on the best way to handle the null / blank records in each table, i.e. replace empty with a 0 ?Really appreaciate any ideas on this.

you can try
+ 0
at the end of measure to deal with null.
