    OK, then I'd assume [Cust] doesn't need to be propagated since the customer dimension should be filtering them both the same and we just need to apply the Item and UOM filtering from VLE to SalesPrice.

     

    Try this

    Qty_Price =
VAR _ItemQty = SELECTEDVALUE ( VLE[Qty] )
VAR _Item = SELECTEDVALUE ( VLE[Item] )
VAR _UOM = SELECTEDVALUE ( VLE[UOM] )
VAR _MinQty =
    CALCULATE (
        MIN ( SalesPrice[Min_Qty] ),
        SalesPrice[Min_Qty] >= _ItemQty,
        SalesPrice[Item] = _Item,
        SalesPrice[UOM] = _UOM
    )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        SELECTEDVALUE ( SalesPrice[Unit_Price] ),
        SalesPrice[Min_Qty] = _MinQty,
        SalesPrice[Item] = _Item,
        SalesPrice[UOM] = _UOM
    )

    Or you could also use TREATAS:

    Qty_Price =
VAR _ItemQty = SELECTEDVALUE ( VLE[Qty] )
VAR _MinQty =
    CALCULATE (
        MIN ( SalesPrice[Min_Qty] ),
        SalesPrice[Min_Qty] >= _ItemQty,
        TREATAS ( VALUES ( VLE[Item] ), SalesPrice[Item] ),
        TREATAS ( VALUES ( VLE[UOM] ), SalesPrice[UOM] )
    )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        SELECTEDVALUE ( SalesPrice[Unit_Price] ),
        SalesPrice[Min_Qty] = _MinQty,
        TREATAS ( VALUES ( VLE[Item] ), SalesPrice[Item] ),
        TREATAS ( VALUES ( VLE[UOM] ), SalesPrice[UOM] )
    )

Here's one way to do this

Qty_Price =
VAR _ItemQty = SELECTEDVALUE ( VLE[Qty] )
VAR _MinQty = CALCULATE ( MIN ( SalesPrice[Min_Qty] ), SalesPrice[Min_Qty] >= _ItemQty )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        SELECTEDVALUE ( SalesPrice[Unit_Price] ),
        SalesPrice[Min_Qty] = _MinQty
    )

Note: This assumes the Cust, Item, and UOM columns in both tables are both filtered by the same dimension table(s). If they aren't related this way, then you'll need to propagate the filtering in the measure too.

 

For a couple of other methods, you may be interested in this similar question:

Hi Alexis!

Thank you! Can you show how the filtering would work?

    It depends on how your table relationships and evaluation context are set up. What does your relationship diagram look like? Are you building a measure to use in a visual or a calculated column?

      Here are my current relationships 

       

      The Sales_Code is Customer No.

       

       

      I planned on building a measure to use in a visual
