Referring to another Table by calculating average

Hi community,

 

I have the following case:

 

Sales

DateSalesNew Column (average Temperature)
2024-01500 
2024-02300 
2024-03400 

 

Weather_data:

Datetemperature
2024-013
2024-015
2024-012
2024-023
2024-0211
2024-032
2024-033

 

The tables are connected (Column: date)

 

I want to create a new calculated Columnin table Sales, which calculates the average temperature each month. In this case, table Weather_data has multiple rows for each month and table Sales only has 1 row each month.

 

Example for first row (2024-01) in "Sales": 3+5+2 => average =>3.33

Example for second row (2024-02) in Sales: 3+11 => average => 7

Example for third row (2024-03) in Sales: 2+3 => average => 2.5

 

Expected result for the new column in table "Sales": 

DateSalesNew Column (average Temperature)
2024-015003.33
2024-023007
2024-034002.5

 

What would be the DAX function for the new calculated column?

 

Thank you!

 

Best

Based on your sample data it would be this 

Avg Temp = 
CALCULATE(
AVERAGE(Weather_data[temperature]),
FILTER(
    Weather_data,
    Weather_data[Date] = Sales[Date]
))

however this was based on the date column you provided, if you are using an actual date instead of the year-month text in Weather_data I would highly recommend adding a calendar table.
