Yearly Calculated Measure

Hi,

 

I have below two tables. The rate in Table A is (Yearly $ / Yearly Hours). I also have another Table B where employees have scheduled labor $'s. Cost in Table B = (Labor $ * Lookup Rate in Table A). The result i want is Sum of Cost by Employees. But it's taking Grand rate of all Years if I don't add Fiscal Year in my result. I tried calculated column in a table but because i already have another calculated column, it's giving me circular reference error.

@NishPatel , If table A and Table B are joined on year and it 1- M reation.

 

You can create a measure like

sumx(TableB, TableB[Labour]* related(TableA[Cost]))

 

else get cost in table B using one of the four methods

refer 4 ways to copy data from one table to another

Hi, @NishPatel 

Please try to use the below measure.

 

Cost =
SUMX (
TableB,
TableB[Labor $]
* LOOKUPVALUE ( TableA[Rate], TableA[Fiscal Year], TableB[Fiscal Year] )
)

Hi @NishPatel ,

You can create a calculated column as below:

Column = 
VAR _rate =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'A'[Rate] ),
        FILTER ( 'A', 'A'[Fiscal Year] = 'B'[Fiscal Year] )
    )
RETURN
    'B'[Labor $] * _rate
