    Hi bkr ,

     

    Based on your description, you can create a calculated table as follows.

    Table 3 = SUMMARIZE(ADDCOLUMNS('Table 2',"_Sender",LOOKUPVALUE('Table 1'[Name],'Table 1'[Index],[Receiver]),"_Receiver",LOOKUPVALUE('Table 1'[Name],'Table 1'[Index],[Sender])),[_Sender],[_Receiver],'Table 2'[Value])
    Result:

     

    Hope that's what you were looking for.

    Best Regards,

    Yuna

Yes, that is the way to do it.  You can replicate a table using DAX simply by selecting New Table and pointing at the original.

Receivers = Users

The only other way I could think to do it would be with a sender / receiver pair created using a CROSSJOIN that would give you all possible combinations but that would end up bigger and less useful than just having a sender table and receiver table.

Thank you! Would you duplicate in DAX or in Power Query? Does it make a difference in terms of space or speed?
