relationship between 2 fact tables

Hi mates

I have 2 fact tables

Sales

Targets

Common field between 2 tables is only ProductGroup but is many to many

 

I need to display table visual to show

Month, Year, Product Group, Target, Total_Sales

 

How do I relate these 2 tables and create measure to show as above

  • Hi rajanimaddala ,

     

    Here are my sample tables.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Use “Left outer” to merge these two tables.

    Add three new columns.

    Year =
    YEAR ( Merge1[Date] )
    
    Month =
    MONTH ( Merge1[Date] )
    
    Column =
    IF (
        Merge1[Year] * 100 + Merge1[Month] = Merge1[Targets.YM],
        TRUE (),
        FALSE ()
    )
    

    Create a new table to make visual.

    FinalTable =
    CALCULATETABLE ( Merge1, Merge1[Column] = TRUE () )
    

    Add a new measure “TotalSales”.

    TotalSales =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'FinalTable'[Sales] ),
        ALLEXCEPT (
            'FinalTable',
            'FinalTable'[Targets.YM],
            'FinalTable'[Product Group]
        )
    )
    

    According to my ideas to get the results you want.
