Measure from 2 tables
Hi. I have 2 tables, order_lines and order_create_purchase_price. I have a relationship between id and order_lines_id.
What I need to calculate is order_create_purchase_price.purchase_price * order_lines.quantity - order_create_purchase_price.VAT(this is tax% from price), so I can get purchase price from all without tax. Any help?
order_lines table
| id | quantity | price |
| 433368 | 1 | 2,5 |
| 433369 | 2 | 1,5 |
order_create_purchase_price table
| order_lines_id | purchase_price | vat |
| 433368 | 3,5 | 10 |
| 433369 | 2,35 | 10 |
I have this measure when I count something from 1 table without tax(here 'alv'), but I can't handle it with 2 tables.
Hi Anonymous ,
What is the relationship between your tables, one-to-many, one-to-one, or many-to-many?
Do you want to calculate the purchase_price* quantity - purchase_price* quantity*( vat/100)?
For example, the id 433681 calculates 35 * 1 – 35 * 1 * (10 / 100) = 32
If yes, we create a one-to-one relationship based on your sample data.
Then we can create a measure to get the result.
Measure = SUM ( order_create_purchase_price[purchase_price] ) * SUM ( order_lines[quantity] ) * ( 1 - SUM ( order_create_purchase_price[vat] ) / 100 )If it doesn’t meet your requirement, could you please provide a mockup sample based on fake data or describe the fields of each tables and the relations between tables simply?
It will be helpful if you can show us the exact expected result based on the tables.

Anonymous - Use RELATED or RELATEDTABLE. Please post sample data as text and expected output from sample data and can be more specific.
Please see this post regarding How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/ba-p/38490
The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.
