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':

D_PBI_0-1692794500831.png


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

D_PBI_1-1692794536084.png


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:

D_PBI_0-1692794885133.png


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.

BUMP.

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

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.
