Calculated column with data from not related table

Hi all!

Ich have 2 transactional tables und two dimensional tables

  • Transactional 1: Sales per Article per Week
  • Transactional 2: Orders per Article per Week
  • Dimensional 1: Table of all Articles (unique)
  • Dimensional 2: Calendar

Both transactional tables are linked (Many to One) to both dimensional tables.

Now I would like to add a calculated column into the first table with the number of orders from the second week respectively for the same article and same week.

How would you do that?

Hi there, 
what you could try, create a primary key on both tables using concatenate of article and date/week field

PrKey = Orders[ArticleID]&"-"&Orders[Date]
PrKey = Sales[ArticleID]&"-"&Orders[Date]
 
Then create a relationship between the Orders and Sales on that key ( it will be an inactive one)
Then on sales table, create a column:
Calculate(Sum(Orders[Order Quantity]), USERELATIONSHIP(Orders[PrKey], Sales[PrKey]))
 
If your relationship will be many to many between sales and orders, then you will get a sum of orders, if inittially aour tables are aggregates per week, then you have what you wanted.

Please let me know if that helped.
