The use of RELATEDTABLE and RELATED

‎11-20-2019 01:30 PM

Hello all...

 

Wondering if someone can confirm something for me: The following expression was written to store the total weight of an order, in to a SalesHeader table. Is the existance of the RELATEDTABLE (SalesDetail) portion of the expression there solely to propagate through to the Product table? 

 

SalesHeader[TotalWeight] = SUMX ( RELATEDTABLE ( SalesDetail ), RELATED ( 'Product'[Weight] ) * SalesDetail[Quantity] )

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

SUMX iterates through the Sales Detail rows belonging to the Sales Header and executes for each row the calculation Product Weight * Sales Detail Quantity.

 

I hope it helps
