How to calculate cost of hire

[dreaves1]

I have two tables, an Agency Invoice Table and a Hires Table. Both tables have mutliple key identifies (Req Number and Agency Name) that I'm trying to use to connect the two tables together to show the number of hires for each row of the Agency Table and to cost of hire (the amount we spent with the agency divided by the number of hires made by that agency). Below is an example of the two tables. How can I create a formula that creates a new column in the Agency Table that counts the number of hires from the Hires Table? Then, what formula will I use to calculate cost of hire?

Agency Table

Agency Name	Req Number1	Req Number2	Amount
Example1	100	102	$20,000
Example2	103		$15,000
Example3	104		$10,000

Hires Table

Candidate Name	Req Number	Agency Name
John Doe	100	Example1
Jane Doe	102	Example1
Test Doe	103	Example2
Michael Jordan	104	Example3

Hi @dreaves1 ,

Here's my solution.

1.In the Power Query Editor, select the two columns of Req Number, and then click Unpivot.

Then you will get this.

2.Create the following calculated columns in the two tables respectively.

AgenceyName&ReqNumber = [Agency Name]&"-"&[Value]

AgenceyName&ReqNumber = [Agency Name]&"-"&[Req Number]

3.Create a relationship between tables.

4.Create a table visual with the following fields. The visual shows the cost of hire.
