calculating a measure based on a column in a different table

Question

 

The following measure successfully calculates the cumulative CO2 emissions per building present in my data model, based on electricity and gas usage of each building. The buildings are in a different table than the measure, and so are their square meters of floor area.

 

Cumulative CO2 Emissions Year per Building = 
 IF(
 MONTH([Date ]) < MONTH(TODAY());
 ElectricityTelemetryData[Cumulative CO2 Emission Electricity Year]+GasTelemetryData[Cumulative CO2 Emissions Gas Year];
 BLANK()
    )

 

Now I want to divide this measure by the square meters that belong to each building. Strangely enough, the following DAX code doesn't work, and it gives the message "The column 'Buildings[HouseSizeInSquareMeters]' either doesn't exist or doesn't have a relationship to any table available in the current context." Even though the tables ARE related, albeit indirectly, and I have already tried switching cross-filter directions of relationships from single to both.

 

Cumulative CO2 Emissions Year Per Building per m² = 
DIVIDE(
	'MetaUtilityTypes'[Cumulative CO2 Emissions Year Per Building];
	RELATED(Buildings[HouseSizeInSquareMeters])
)

Hope somebody can help!

 

 

 

Kind regards,

 

Robin
