How can I assign measures to a specific value in a row

I have the below table and wish to create a new column so that I can assign measures to each row, I have created measures for each row however how would I assigned or link them to the table.  I have no dates in my other table so have created measures summing the colunms as they do not have dates assigned

You cannot/should not create calculated columns or calculated tables from measures.  only the other way round makes sense.

Unpivot that table and eliminate duplicates.

The issue is I do not have a date Column in the finance table and need to assign each column a date. I created the above table as a reference table, however I am uanble to create a relationship between the two tables.
As the finance table has column heading rather then rows, I am unsure of how I would make this work. I have tried a bridging table, also tried to transpose the finance table.

For example I need to sum colunm baseline_previous_control_period_y1 in the finance table and then assign the column a date( fiscal year 2014). I need to repeat this for all 47 columns and assign a date to the column as per the ref table above.
Do I need to create seperate tables for each coulmn so that I can create a sepereate date coulmn ?
Any help is much apprecaited
