How to Calculate Measure and Relative Table Columns
I am looking for a way to calculate the following using two tables that have a many-to-one relationship, but I can't find it. Can you please provide me with a DAX that can solve this?
-----------------------
Relationships
- Many: 'Sales' table
- 1: 'Operation' table
-----------------------
The formula I would like to achieve
Subtract the 'Operation' table cost for the same day from the following measure you want to create in the 'Sales' table = margin
Daily_Amount = CALCULATE(
SUM(Sales[Amount]),
ALLSELECTED(Sales[Item])
)
However, using the RELATED function will result in an error, probably because there is no row context.
Margin = [Daily_Amount] - RELATED('Operation'[Cost])
Margin = [Daily_Amount] - RELATED('Operation'[Cost])
Error message
The column 'Operation[Cost]' either doesn't exist or doesn't have a relationship to any table available in the current context.
-----------------------
Thank you for your cooperation.
Hi Masatoshi ,
According to your description, here are my steps you can follow as a solution.
(1) My test data is the same as yours.
(2) We can create a measure.
Margin = var _cost = LOOKUPVALUE(Operation[Cost],'Operation'[Date],MAX('Sales'[Date])) return 'Sales'[Daily_Amount]-_cost(3) Then the result is as follows.
