Retrieve columns from a Direct Query table into a Import Mode table, performing an aggregation too.

Hi
I have the following Import Mode table named 'Sales':


I also have the following Direct Query table named 'Branch':


I would like to perform a SUM on the Amount column, per TYPE and return those calculated values to the Sales table. The end result should look like the following table:


Ther are no relationships joined/connected between the tables. However, the joining fields would be Sales[Ref No.] to Branch[Code].
How do I complete this in DAX?
Thanks.

    Hi D_PBI ,

     

    If you don't want to create a relationship, you can try creating a calcualted table using DAX.

    Table 2 = FILTER(CROSSJOIN('Table','Table_1'),[Ref No.]=[Code])

    It's the result.

                                                                                                                                                             

    Best Regards,

    Hi

    No need for DAX. You can do this easily with Matrix visualization

      No, you can't. You need a method to join the two tables via DAX. There is no relationship set up in the model pane. I need to understand how to achieve my request in the OP.

      Thanks for your efforts but you cannot do that with a composite model.
