Issue with relating direct query and import tables

Hi All,

 

I have two tables one is direct query and other is import model. 

Direct Query Table:

 

 

Import Table:

 

Import Table consists of Month, Station ID and Expected Energy

MonthStation IdExpected Energy
   

 

Basically, I need to create relationships in such a way that 

 

IF (Table 1[Eac-MFM] > 0 , Table 2 [Expected Energy], 0) 

 

I tried creating a relationship between the month in both tables and it created many to many relationships but I am not able to execute the above if condition because of direct query limitations.

    Hi,

     

    According to your description, i create two simple tables to test:

    DirectQuery table

     

    Import table

                                                               

    Then create a measure:

     

    Measure = 
IF (
    COUNTROWS ( 'Sales-2' ) > 0,
    IF (
        SUM ( 'Sales-1'[Sales] ) > 0,
        CALCULATE (
            SUM ( 'Sales-2'[Expected Sales] ),
            'Sales-2'[Category] IN FILTERS ( 'Sales-1'[Category] )
        ),
        0
    )
)

     

    Add this measure to DirectQuery table(Sales-1) as a table visual and it shows:

     

    Best Regards,
