    Hi,  Anonymous 

    You need to create a summarize table first (calcualted table)

    Tab = SUMMARIZE(Table1,Table1[Name No],Table1[Name],"Cost",SUM(Table1[Costs]))

    Tehn using lookupvalue to create a calculated column.

    C_Costs = LOOKUPVALUE(Tab[Cost],Tab[Name No],Table2[Name No],Tab[Name],Table2[Name])

Anonymous you should create a table for name dimension with unique values for the name and set relationship with both the tables, it will be one to many relationships, in visual, use name information from this new table and rest of the columns from the respective table. This is the right way to do this. Read this post
