New table with sum from other tables

[MOMOMO]

I have 3 different tables as follows:

Inventory

forecast

pending 

Product	Packaging	Inventory
A	Drum	30
B	Bulk	40
C	Drum	35

Product	Packaging	date	forecast
A	Drum	Sep 2021	2
B	Drum	Aug 2021	30
B	Bulk	Dec 2021	50
C	Bulk	Jan 2022	8

Product	Packaging	date	pending
A	Drum	Jun 2021	2
B	Bulk	Jul 2021	3
C	Drum	Jul 2021	5

I want to create a new measure which compares the inventory, forecast, and pending for the same packaging as follows

Packaging	Inventory	Forecast	pending
Drum
Bulk

I want to export this new measure to a table or a visual on my page so that I would show me the result when I chose a specific product.

how can I do that?

Hi @MOMOMO 

Please correct me if I wrongly understood your problem .

First you need append the three data tables to become a new table .You can append them in Query Editor .You will get a new table named “Append1” .

Then create measures to sum forecast, inventory, pending .

sum forecast = CALCULATE(SUM(Append1[forecast]),ALLEXCEPT(Append1,Append1[Packaging]))

sum inventory = CALCULATE(SUM(Append1[Inventory]),ALLEXCEPT(Append1,Append1[Packaging]))

sum pending = CALCULATE(SUM(Append1[pending]),ALLEXCEPT(Append1,Append1[Packaging]))

Add a table visual with Append1[Packaging] , sum forecast, sum inventory, sum pending , you will get a result like this .

Add a slicer with the field Append1[Packaging] , and you can through selecting Packaging to return different values for forecast, inventory, pending .

The effect is as shown :

I have attached my pbix file ,you can refer to it .

@MOMOMO , create common dimension/s for product and packaging

distinct(union(distinct(inventory[Product]),distinct(packaging[Product]),distinct(forecasting[Product])))

Join them with your tables and analyze them together

i can create only one common dimension (packaging) per table and sum per this dimension. However, i cant  filter this by procut because I have one dimension in my table
