Sum column values based on another table
- 8 years ago
It is because of relationships are not appropriately defined in your model. Looking at your model, it seems like you need to make the following changes:
- Change Relationship between Table1 and Calendar to be Many-to-One and Single-Directional. (Note the Many should be from Table1).
- Change Relationship between Table2 and Calendar to be Many-to-One and Single-Directional. Then ensure that the relationship is active. (Again note that Table2 should be many side.)
- Create new relationship between Table2[Office] and Offices[Office] as Many-To-One and Single-Directional.
- Change the measure TotalExpense = SUM(Table2[Expense]). It is possible that I misunderstand the requirement for this measure. But it is good to start simple and then define a more complex measure if needed.
I tried these changes and seem to be getting the correct numbers, but you should verify if that is what you want.
I need some clarification. Do Offices and Areas have a relationship?
Also, why is AREAS joined to table1 and not table2?
