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.
Thank You in Advance

@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

and then try measure
sumx(TableB, TableB[Labour]* (TableB[Cost]))
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
