I have a gauge showing sum of hours from [Project]Hours.
To this sum, however, I'd like to add the value from related [Employee]InitValue but can't figure out how to create that calculation.
I guess I have to create a calculated field or measure, but struggle to find out how. Help greatly appreciated.

Hi @Anonymous,
While you may not be able to use RELATED function on the one side of the many to one relationship, I believe you can do something like
MY MEASURE = SUM ( 'Project'[Hours] ) + SUM ( 'Employee'[InitValue] )

If the fields really are related then you should be able to create a measure of sum(project[hours])+related(employee[InitValue])
I did try that, but the function does not allow me to use relate in a measure field in Projects (either does not exist or doesn't have a relationship to any table in the current context). Projects DOES have a many to one relationship to Employees.
But if this had worked, wouldn't that function add the init value to each of the project hour records? I want to sum the project hour records and then add the init value once on top on the sum.

You are absolutely right, Dan. I did try that earlier, but with the noobie mistake of not noticing datatype of InitValue had defaulted to text. Worked fine after changing to decimal.
Thanks a lot!
