SQL query to DAX in Power BI

I have the following SQL Query:

 

SELECT * FROM [table1]

INNER JOIN (SELECT [table2].table1_id, [table4].table4_id, count(*)

FROM [table2]

INNER JOIN [table3] ON [table2].table3_id = [table3].table3_id

INNER JOIN [table4] ON [table4].table4_id = [table3].table4_id

GROUP BY [table2].table1_id) as <table5> ON [table1].table1_id = <table5>.table1_id

 

I need to do the same thing that does this but translated to DAX in order to use it in Power BI,

it would be great if i can use it in a measure, but i tried a few things that didn't work, so if it is a measure, calculated column or anything else would be nice. 

I'm a little lost with with this. Any Ideas? Thank you very much!

NATURALINNERJOIN is the DAX join function and you can use SUMMARIZE for grouping.

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

I'm using :

Measure = CALCULATE(SUMMARIZE((NATURALINNERJOIN(<table2>;NATURALINNERJOIN(<table3>;<table4>)));"qty";count(<table2>[table1_id])))

But I Can't make it work. 

This is my relationship model.

Hi @matgf,

 

SUMMARIZE function will return table, you can't direct use it in measure.
