    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    You can do like this.

    1. Create a column in Table2.

     

    Column = 
CALCULATE(
    SUM(Table2[Value]),
    FILTER(
        Table2,
        Table2[ID] = EARLIER( Table2[ID]) && Table2[ID] = 2
    )
)

     

    2. Create a column in Table 1.

     

    Column = 
LOOKUPVALUE(
    Table2[Column],
    Table2[ID], Table1[ID]
)

     

     

    Best regards,

Hi Anonymous

You can indeed use the calculate function here.

The Column would look like this:

Column =
VAR CurrentID = 'Table1'[ID]
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'table2'[column] ),
        FILTER ( table2, 'table2'[ID] = CurrentID )
    )

 

 

Hope it helps,

 

Kind regards
