SUM Column in Value Exists in Another Table

I have two datasets

 

Dataset 1

IDHoursJob Type
110Erect
210Dismantle

 

Dataset 2

IDEstimate Erect HoursEstimate Dismantle Hours
1155
2100

 

I want to create a measure that can do the following:

 

SUM column 'Hours' in dataset 1. But only if the hours relating to that ID and 'Job Type' are greater than 0 in dataset 2.

 

For example, dataset 1 shows 'ID' 1 has 10 'Hours' for a 'Job Type' Erect. Dataset 2 has 15 'Estimate Erect Hours' which is matching to the existing 'Job Type' shown in dataset 1 and is greater than 0 therefore 'Hours' in dataset 1 will be summed.

 

Many thanks,

    Hi , Anonymous 

    According to your description, you want to get the sum of [Hours] according to the another table the job type hour > 0.

    Here are the steps you can refer to :
    (1)My test data is the same as yours.

    (2)We can create a measure like this:

    Measure = var _t =ADDCOLUMNS( ALLSELECTED('Table 1') , "flag" ,
var _id = [ID] var _job=[Job Type] var _t = FILTER('Table 2' ,'Table 2'[ID] = _id)   return
IF(  OR( _job = "Erect" && MAXX(_t, [Estimate Erect Hours])>0 ,_job = "Dismantle" && MAXX(_t, [Estimate Dismantle Hours])>0 )  , 1, 0))
 return
 SUMX(_t ,IF([flag]=1,[Hours],0))

    (3)Then we can get the total:

    Hi, You can easly make it by creation of properly bounding beetwen database 1 and database2 and in graph set a sum and graph filter making assumption based on database2

      Thanks for your response. I am abit confused on how to achieve this.

       

      I have tried

      • creating a visual that sums hours in dataset 1
      • Creating a relationship between ID in both datasets
      • Filtering out the visual if 'Estimate Erect Hours' or 'Estimate Dismantle Hours' are greater than 0

      This is not working as it doesnt look to see if the 'ID' in dataset 1 relates to a 'Job Type' erect or dismantle.
