How to calculate difference between two fields from tables with a many to many relationship
Hi PBI Gang
I have two tables Table1 and Table2 that have a many to many relationship (they are joined on their ID, ID_ columns)... each of these tables have a field containing a Year value.
I need to calculate the difference between these two fields.
For example;
Table1
ID Year
1 2019
1 2019
1 2020
1 2020
Table
ID_ Item Year_
1 A 2017
1 B 2018
How do I create a measure that calculates the difference between the fields? It would need to be
Table1[Year] - Table2[Year_] so the outputs for....
2019 - 2017
2019 - 2018
2020-2017
2020-2018 etc
These fields are not picking up in a DAX measure. I cannot do a lookup from one Table2 into Table1 because of the many to many... I am not sure how to to go about this
All assistance will be greatly appreciated.

HB13 , if you need a difference between the same year you need a common date table. The expected output is not very clear with your example
