Sum (filter by same date)
You add your measure in the Power BI desktop, not in the table. You right click and select new measure. After that, you will be able to change the name (by default it should write "measure") and enter the formula.

Anonymous if you want a monthly view you can:
1) Create a calculated column (in the same table of the "NewColumn") to show the month.
2) Then you can put "Month" and "NewColumn" into a visualization, and it automatically recalculate the value.

I've used the FORMAT() Function to show the month's name. If you want to display something else you can change the format (ex. "mmmm") using these.
Hi Anonymous,
if you want I have another solution.
1) You create a relation between the two tables
2) After that you can create the calculated column (I put it in the "Sales" table because in the other I cannot use the RELATED() function)
3) And you have your result.
Also the Anonymous solution is valid. Choose the better option for your purpose.
Let me know if it works.

Hi B129, I see your reply and thanks a lot for correcting my mistake. So my mistake is I am supposed to use related in the sales table.
Then another question will be:
In the example shown there is daily transaction (Sales) and daily market sales. How do I do it if I want to have monthly market share instead of daily market share?

Hi Sebastien and B129,
My apology for going MIA, no time to come back and check my posting.
I really appreciate your guidance and teaching, I learnt a lot from you guys. Thanks for being patient with me as I am new to Power BI.
Warmest regards,
