    Hi,

    If the relationships are created, you can use RELATED function in DAX to fetch field from item dimension and use it in fact table.

    Below e.g uses Cost field from Product table to calculate the total cost.

     

    Total Cost = SUMX( Sales, Sales[Quantity] * RELATED('Product'[Cost]) )

    Thanks.

      Hi,

       

      I tried below dax function but it didn't work.

       

      Cs = DIVIDE(FactStock[UnitQty],RELATED(DimItem[Conversion]),0)
       
      No errors but giving the same value in the unitQTY column. not dividing by conversion.
