Calculated Column with filters across tables

I am trying to create a new calculated column across two of my current tables.  Table 1 has the fields of "MachineID", "Start Time" and "End Time".  The start and end times here are usually 12 hours apart and they are representing the entire shift structure.

Table 2 has some material usage information, which has a similar "MachineID" column, as well as start and stop times at more frequent intervals, usually 15 minutes, and a total material usage column.

What I am trying to do is do a calculated column that sums the 15-minute intervals on Table 2 when the MachineID matches and the timeframes in Table 2 are between the start and stop times of my total shift in Table 1.

Times are in Date/Time format in both tables

I tried to do this calculed column in Table 1:

TotalMtlUsage = CALCULATE(sum(Table2[Totals]), Table2[MachineID]=Table1[MachineID], Table2[StartTime]>=Table1[StartTime], Table2[EndTime]<=Table1[EndTime])

but it is giving me errors saying "The expression contains columns from multiple tables, but only columns from a single table can be used in a True/False expression that is used as a table filter expression".

Can anyone give me some suggestions or a better way to do this?

@haefnja , Try a new column like

 

TotalMtlUsage = CALCULATE(sum(Table2[Totals]),filter(Table2, Table2[MachineID]=Table1[MachineID] && Table2[StartTime]>=Table1[StartTime] && Table2[EndTime]<=Table1[EndTime]))

@amitchandak Thanks a bunch, that works! Figured it would be a simple fix.
