Hello,
I am a newbie to Power BI and need some help with a measure i am trying to create.
I am trying to get total cost of orders based on a look-up between 2 tables and i have the below but itis not working.
Value of Orders = CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'rma mm_standard_cost'[MAX_STD_COST_EA] ), FILTER ( 'rma sr_order_line', 'rma sr_order_line'[PART_NUMBER] = RELATED('rma mm_standard_cost'[MATERIAL]) ) )
RMA is the DB
MM Standard Cost is table 1...has Material and MAX_STD_COST_EA as 2 fields
SR Order Line is another table...which has a field called the Part_Number
Thanks in advance

You may modify you formula like below:
Value of Orders =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'rma mm_standard_cost'[MAX_STD_COST_EA] ),
FILTER (
ALL ( 'rma mm_standard_cost'[MATERIAL] ),
CONTAINS (
VALUES ( 'rma sr_order_line'[PART_NUMBER] ),
'rma sr_order_line'[PART_NUMBER], 'rma mm_standard_cost'[MATERIAL]
)
)
)

Hello,
I am trying to write a measure to cauclate the total cost of orders based on materials by looking up the standard cost from another table.
I have the below...but it is not working. Can someone help this newbie pls?
Value of Orders = CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'rma mm_standard_cost'[MAX_STD_COST_EA] ), FILTER ( 'rma sr_order_line', 'rma sr_order_line'[PART_NUMBER] = RELATED('rma mm_standard_cost'[MATERIAL]) ) )
MM Standard cost has the Material and the cost...SR Order Line has the Part Number that was submitted in the order.
Thanks in advance
