adding columns to re-flatten data?
This strikes me as solving a problem that the architecture is meant to avoid, but I have two related tables. The first: SummaryInput, has unique rows of [Asset ID]. The second, AssetReturn, has a bunch of calculations, including periodic (monthly) cash flows, etc., so many more rows, but many fewer columns and is related via [Asset ID]. As shown in SUmmaryInput below, each asset has a yield associated with it. I'd like to think I wouldn't have to flatten that column of data from SummaryInput into AssetReturn to conduct weighted average calculations, but I haven't figured out another way yet.
So the question is what's the way to get the Yield into AssetReturn table?
SUMMARYINPUT:
| Number | Asset ID | Project | Yield |
| 1 | EC135 (MSN 0467) | Alpha | 18.42% |
| 2 | EC135 (MSN 0472) | Alpha | 18.42% |
| 3 | EC145 (MSN 9084) | Alpha | 18.15% |
| 4 | H4 (MSN 4) | Bravo | 17.00% |

Hi,
In the Asset return Table, write this calculated column formula
=RELATED(SummaryInput[Yield])
Hope this helps.

Thanks. My Excel tables had blanks in them so the [AssetID] that was linking was a "many-to-many" relationship that BI apparently didn't like at all. Once I removed the extra blanks from my Excel table, this worked perfectly.
Hi,
Glad to hear that. If my reply helped, please mark it as Answer.
