How do I multiply by a value in a related table before aggregating?

I have a Sales fact table with Revenues of products in Categories like this:-

 

CategoryRevenue
BLUE$12.00
BLUE$13.00
RED$56.00
RED$17.00
RED$123.00
RED$2.00

 

A sales rep earns a commission on each sale according to a Rate. Each product Category has a different commission Rate.

I have a related Rates table that defines the Rate for each Category like this:-

 

CategoryRate
BLUE5%
RED3%

 

 

I want to show the commission in dollars earned by the sales rep by Category (and the total) in a matrix. I expect it to look like this:-

 

CategoryCommision
BLUE$1.25
RED$5.94
Total$7.19

 

How do I define a measure that multiplies the Revenue by the Rate (from the related table) BEFORE the results are aggregated by the SUM in the measure?

Hi, @graemeharker 

 

Please try the below.

 

Commision =
SUMX( Sales, Sales[Revenue] * RELATED(Categories[Rate]))
