How to take value from one table and create another column in another table?

Hi

 

I have two tables below

 

Table 1: Sold

 

LOCATIONsold qty
AA060
AA060
AA048
AA054
AA0623
AA060
AA061
AA06

0

 

Table 2: Inventory

 

Total InventoryLocation
10AA01
22AA02
22AA03
15AA04
25AA05
22AA06

 

What I want is to find the remaining quantity (Total Inventory - Total Sold by location)

 

I need am expecting below result

 

Locationsold qtyRemaining 
AA060-2
AA0600
AA0487
AA05421
AA06230
AA0600
AA0610
AA0600

 

Here Location "AA06" appears many times, so first step is to sum the sold qty for entire "AA06" location which is 24 (0+0+23+1+0+0). Then remaining = Total Inventory - Sold Qty. Same goes to other location

 

I am not sure how to do this, can anyone advise me please?

Hi,

I am not sure how to differenciate AA06s in the Sold table. Perhaps by employee? Or, by customer? 

In my sample, I tried to differenciate those by index number.
please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

It is for creating a new column in the Sold table.

Remaining CC =
VAR _firstindexnumber =
    MINX (
        FILTER ( Sold, Sold[LOCATION] = EARLIER ( Sold[LOCATION] ) ),
        Sold[Index]
    )
VAR _soldtotal =
    SUMX (
        FILTER ( Sold, Sold[LOCATION] = EARLIER ( Sold[LOCATION] ) ),
        Sold[sold qty]
    )
VAR _inventory =
    SUMX (
        FILTER ( Inventory, Inventory[Location] = Sold[LOCATION] ),
        Inventory[Total Inventory]
    )
RETURN
    SWITCH ( TRUE (), Sold[Index] = _firstindexnumber, _inventory - _soldtotal, 0 )

HI @Jihwan_Kim Thanks for your reply. Sorry. I forgot to mention. Sold and inventory table is connected with Location column from both the tables. Will the above solutions works for connecting with location? Sorry I don't have index numbers.
