    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    Sorry, it was complicated by me. Just try this:

     

    1. Create [Pay Measure 1].

     

    Pay Measure 1 = SUM( 'Hours'[Hours] ) * SUM ( 'PAY RATES'[Hrly Rate] )

     

     

    2. Create [Pay Measure 2].

     

    Pay Measure 2 = 
IF (
    HASONEVALUE ( Hours[Employee ID] ),
    [Pay Measure 1],
    SUMX ( Hours, [Pay Measure 1] )
)

     

     

     

    Best Regards,

Hi Anonymous ,

 

Create the measure like so:

 

Pay Measure 2 = 
VAR table_ =
    SUMMARIZE (
        Hours,
        Hours[Employee ID],
        Hours[Pay Grade],
        Hours[Hours],
        'PAY RATES'[Hrly Rate],
        "Sum_", [Hours] * [Hrly Rate]
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        HASONEVALUE ( Hours[Employee ID] ),
        SUMX ( 'Hours', 'Hours'[Hours] ) * SUM ( 'PAY RATES'[Hrly Rate] ),
        SUMX ( table_, [Sum_] )
    )

 

Best Regards,

Icey

    Hello, 

     

    Thanks for the reponse and help! I tried using the measure you provided but I am unable to select 'PAY RATES' table it is not listed when I try to add the last line in SUMMARIZE. I noticed your pbix has a 1*1 relationship but mine is MANY*MANY is that why?  Also worth noting that on my HOURS table each employee has multiple rows of hours

     

    PAY RATES'[Hrly Rate],
