Calculated Column - 2 Tables

Looking for help with a calculated column between two different tables.

 

The end goal is for the calculated column to be: (Hours at Completion) - (Travel Time)

 

Hours at Completion is on one table, Travel Time is on a different table.

 

The relationship between the two tables is Many:1.

 

How can I accomplish this? 

1 ACCEPTED SOLUTION

If Table 1 is on the many side, you can use this expression to get your result

 

NewColumn = Table1[Hours at Completion] - RELATED(Table2[Travel Hours])

 

If this works for you, please mark it as the solution.  Kudos are appreciated too.  Please let me know if not.

Regards,

Pat

Although you can try to add column in the table that is on the many sides by using DAX function called RELATED to refer column from one side.
