Using RELATED() across a bridge table?

I have two tables that are connected via a bridge table. What is the best approach to creating a measure that aims to multiply columns values from one table with a column from the table on the other side of the bridge? 

 

I've done plenty of SUMX(table, related()) functions with Many-to-One related tables but never with a bridge setup.

Hi @Anonymous 

Measures below:

sum_NRI = SUM(dAttributes[NRI])
sum_oilvolume = SUM(fProduction[oilvolume])
mutiply = [sum_NRI]*[sum_oilvolume]

Hi @Anonymous 

As tested, if i create examples below:

It would support to create a measure with aggregation like:

Measure = CALCULATE(SUM('Table 2'[return]),FILTER('Table 2','Table 2'[product]=MAX('Table 1'[product])))

Here is my sample model: https://github.com/rstover/PowerBI 

 

Bridge Model Example

 

What I am trying to do is take the oilvolume from the fProduction table and multiply it by the bridge related NRI column from dAttributes

you cannot use RELATED() for the reasons I stated. Use LOOKUPVALUE() instead

I think Related() only works if you pull fields from the 1 side table to the many side table.  That means you can't use it with bridge tables.
